Blended Learning Questionnaire
Wed 10 Mar 2021Good afternoon all,
As a school we are always keen to hear the opinions and get an insight in to how parents and other stakeholders feel about learning in our school. With school happening remotely through blended learning, we would like to hear from everyone on how they feel the school has dealt with the unique and challenging circumstances we have faced, and find out how your child has coped with online and blended learning.
We would be very grateful it you could take a few short minutes to complete this questionnaire so we can reflect on what we do as a school and continue to support your child in the future.
Please click on the link attached to respond to the survey.
Many thanks in advance
Mr Regulski

Message From Mrs Robbins - Regarding KS2 Returning to School
Tue 09 Mar 2021Good morning all,
Just to keep you up to date, all of the KS2 teachers are in school this week preparing for a full return of pupils next week.
We are waiting for confirmation from the Minister but at the moment we believe that all KS2 children will return together on Monday March 15th.
The bubble times will remain as they were before. Hot dinners will also be available and must be paid for at the beginning of the week as previously.
If you have any questions please message your child’s teacher or give the office a ring.
We can’t wait to have our school full of children again.
We will continue to strictly adhere to our risk assessment and appreciate your support with this.
I shall be in touch again near the end of the week.
Let’s hope there’s brighter times ahead, at last.
Many thanks,
Mrs Robbins -
