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 and ask you to respond to our survey around personal development.

Children’s Mental Health Week - 3rd - 9th February
You and your family can take part in Children's Mental Health Week from 3-9 February 2025 from home.
In 2025, the week’s focus will be Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. We want to equip and empower children, young people, and the adults who surround them to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them.
Each year, Place2Be experts create fun and engaging resources for families, parents and carers to take part in Children's Mental Health Week. This year they are partnering with Here4You, supported by The Walt Disney Company and the Inside Out 2 characters to explore the theme Know Yourself, Grow Yourself.
