Dear Parents/Carers, Friday 11th March 2016
We look forward to seeing you on Parents evening on Wednesday 16th or Thursday 17th March. As you know, the 5-minute appointment has been increased to ten minutes. We are sure you will agree this will give us more time to discuss your child’s progress. If you have not already done so, please return your slip to school to make your appointment with your child’s teacher. If you have misplaced your letter, please call the school office and we will be happy to assist in securing your appointment.
Please come to the school hall before your appointment time so that you can have a look through your child’s work which will be on view in the school hall. A member of staff or a Year 6 child will take you through to your child’s class when the Teacher is ready for you.

The Fair will be open each day from Wednesday 16th March to Tuesday 22nd March … don’t forget to bring your £1 book voucher to spend on your favourite book.
