These are important meetings to share and discuss your child's academic progress.
This is your chance to talk face to face with your child’s specialist teachers. I won’t be available for Year 5 appointments as I am a specialist teacher for Year 6 and will be seeing those families on that evening. However, Year 5 will receive their full midyear report at half term and there will be an extended consultation in Trinity Term with me and Mrs Webb.
The booking system is now open to book your appointments. All details can be found in the email circulated last week.
We look forward to meeting with you.

It seems such a long time since we have dressed up for World Book day in school. This year we are celebrating it on Friday 3 March. To celebrate this we are asking the children to come to school dressed as a character from a book. Perhaps this is something you could create over half term.
We love our reading at Crescent school and hopefully this will encourage the children to be further inspired.
All we ask is that the children are dressed appropriately and safely for a day of learning.
