FAMILIES CONNECT

Just a reminder to all parents that we have a fantastic group of dedicated parents who work in partnership with school called Families Connect. The group meet informally every Tuesday morning in the After School Club and partake in a range of activities which include learning more about how the school works. Activities sometimes involve working with the children, making resources, supporting teaching and learning and activities chosen by the group themselves. Sometimes the group just meet to have a chat and a coffee. The group is run by Mrs Vanda Wright and everyone is welcome.
