Dear Parents,

It has been a bitterly cold week. I hope you have all managed to keep warm. I am hoping it will warm up for you next week so you can get out and about. 

Our school governors have been busy visiting teachers this week to monitor the curriculum. Each teacher has a responsibility to lead a curriculum area, sometimes two. Each Curriculum lead has a Governor that monitors alongside them. 

I would like to highlight that in March we will be having our Spring Curriculum open afternoon. This is a chance for you to look around the school with your child and see what our curriculum offers. You can speak to teachers about the subject they lead and look at books and resources. I hope lots of you can attend. 

Happy Valentines Day,   

Kerry Devane
