Stanmore Post - 15 November 2019

Dear Parents,

The whole school was able to use our Key for Success ‘Respect’ in observing the two minutes silence on Monday for Remembrance Day. The children have been learning about why we have Remembrance Day in lessons, and during assembly, and we were all proud of the respectful way in which they concentrated their thoughts.

We are looking forward to seeing you for Parents Evening on Tuesday November 26th and Thursday November 28th. If you haven’t signed up yet, then please go to www.scopay.com. It should be straight forward to book an appointment on line, but if you experience any problems then ask Mrs Eagle in the office, as she will be able to help you. As part of our school improvement strategy, we have set ourselves a target of 100% of parents attending Parents’ Evening. Your support in helping us achieve this target is greatly appreciated. It is one of the most important ways in which you can find out about what your child will learn during the year. The books that you can see prior to the appointment show the range of subjects that your child is covering. We would expect to discuss:

· The high expectations that we have for your child

· How well your child is doing

· Their attendance and punctuality at school

· Whether your child participates in any clubs and activities

· Any other ways that you believe that the school can support your child’s wider personal development.

In order to continue to track your child’s progress and be able to give you increasingly accurate information about whether your child is currently on track to meet age related expectations (ARE) we are adding English and Maths testing in the Autumn Term to our school assessment calendar. Your child’s class teacher will be able to share more information with you about this.

Best Wishes

Sharon Taylor
