Spring Term Parent Evening Consultations - Wednesday 14th & Thursday 15th February
We are looking forward to welcoming all parents on Wednesday 14th & Thursday 15th February for parent consultation meetings. You will have the opportunity to meet your child’s class teacher and discuss their learning at this midpoint of the year. The teachers will inform you and explain the progress that your child is making towards the end of year expectations for their age. 

Our year 6 prefects will also be on hand to show you to the classrooms
Please complete the attached google form by the end of the school day on Monday 29th January. You will receive your appointment by Monday 5th February. 


Spring Term Parent Evening Appointment Requests 


Dentists 

It is upsetting that, in the UK, the most common reason children have to undergo General Anaesthetic in hospital is for dental extractions.

Naidu & Naidu have decided to open their patient list to children under the age of 18 to help improve access to NHS services and help support your little (or big) ones with maintaining excellent dental health. Their ethos is that from brushing milk teeth to first trips to the dentist should be positive and enjoyable experiences, and we should all be aiming to reduce the need for hospital procedures. They are situated on Gubbins Lane.

If you or any friends or family would like to take this fantastic opportunity, please call our team on 01708346540 or email info@naidudentalcare.co.uk and we would be happy to help.
