I am delighted to invite parents to this term’s parent open afternoon on Thursday 16th October 2025.

 

The afternoon will have a reading focus and how to support your child’s reading at home. All Passport to Learning work will be displayed in the hall.

 

It is a fantastic opportunity for our children to show their skills and really promote the importance of reading to our children. We encourage as many parents as possible to attend.

 

Parents will be able to enter the school at 2:00pm via the main reception and will then be shown to hall to view the displays and escorted to the children’s classrooms. For those who have more than one child in the school we ask that the time is split between siblings and that the parents visit the youngest siblings class first.

 

Teaching Assistants will guide the adults to the other sibling’s classes when required. As you are aware, a school office is very busy and we do not have the staff to escort parents to classes at all times. This could also poses a safeguarding issue. Therefore we will be opening the gate from 2pm to 2:20pm to give parents a 20 minute window. Please note that parents will not be admitted for the open afternoon after 2:20pm. I know that you will appreciate this and support the school to ensure the smooth running of the open afternoon.

 

Parents who attend the event will be able to take their children home from 3pm and will be required to sign them out with the class teacher. For any children whose parents are unable to attend, the normal school end time will apply.

 

As always, I thank you in advance for supporting the school as partners in our children’s education. I look forward to seeing you all on the 16th of October.

 

Kind Regards

Miss N Hyett

Head of School
