Parent and Carers Coffee Mornings
There will be regular coffee mornings for parents and carers. We hope to build a community of parents who can support and learn from one another. Staff members will also be there to offer any help needed.
Dates will be communicated via email and the Parent Bulletin.
Intervention
From time to time, children may need targeted, specific intervention with a specialist to help them overcome a barrier to learning and access the wider curriculum more effectively.
If your child is recommended for any intervention, you will be asked for signed consent. We are always happy to discuss any interventions, why we have selected the child and how it will benefit them.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need support.
