Parents Evenings – Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th February 2013
Appointments for parents’ evenings will be sent home next week. We ask if the appointed time is not suitable that contact is made with the school office as soon as possible. Pupil’s work will be on display in and around classrooms; parents/carers are welcome to visit classrooms. There will be no crèche facilities either evening.
Each child will be allocated a 10 minute appointment. Due to the constraints of time we ask that parents who do not live together attend together or share the appointment time (5 minutes each). If neither of these options are acceptable please contact the school office and we will do our best to arrange the time for another meeting either during or at the end of the school day.
