SEND Station
SEND Station is an online platform that provides informative, short and reasonable priced training on special educational needs topics. This includes training for parents on a range of SEND topics including cognitive learning, autism and speech and language. Courses are online and run mainly in the evenings. Most courses cost just £9.50.
Parking
I have received a couple of complaints from residents in Holloway Crescent about the way parents are parking in their street. This includes blocking driveways and disabled bays. I know that parking is very difficult, but please respect our neighbours when finding a parking space.
Can I also politely ask that parents don’t park in the top car park before 8:30am. Many of our support staff do not start work until 8:45am and are struggling to get parked. This has led them to park outside the front of the school which we want to keep as clear as possible for collection at the end of the day. Thank you!
Qatar World Cup
Excitement is building as we approach the start of the world cup with many hoping that England (and maybe Wales) will go all the way. In school, the children will be tracking the success of the teams and learning about the different countries taking part.
As you will be aware the Qatar World Cup has been surrounded by controversy due to Qatar's human rights record and its treatment of its LGBTQ+ citizens. Some children may become aware of the politics around the tournament from watching the matches or listening to the news. This may lead them to ask questions and have discussions with their friends in school. We will deal with any questions in a sensitive and age appropriate way referring to our Core Values and ethos of supporting equality, diversity and kindness.
Have a lovely weekend!
