We are looking forward to meeting with parents over the next couple of weeks. You are welcome to park in the playground for your meeting, then please come to the door at the front of the school, where you will be welcomed with refreshments.

Your child's books will be available for you to see; you have a 5 minute booking for specialist teachers and 10 minute booking for the form tutor. You may find it easier to discuss progress without your child being present.

Thursday 17 March 2022 - 7.00pm TEAMS

The focus of the evening is to go through with parents the potentially daunting process of finding the right school for your son or daughter when they leave us at the end of Year 6. 

You will be told about how and when to apply for maintained and independent secondary schools, the type of standardised scoring that the maintained schools use and there will be advice from members of staff on preparing your child for the exams they will be sitting. The evening will clarify the timeline involved and explain a bit more about how we can help you navigate the process without too much anxiety. 

This meeting will be held via TEAMS and a link will be sent out to parents of children in Years 4 and 5.
