Staff Change in Dormice and Squirrels
From the 27th February Miss Gill will move from Nursery to become the new permanent Squirrel Class Teacher. Most of the children in the class already know Miss Gill and are almost as excited as she is at this change. Miss Leese will replace Miss Gill in Nursery and is also very much looking forward to her new role.
If you have any questions about these changes, please don’t hesitate to contact either myself or Mr Peel.

Reading Feedback Meetings
We will hold further meetings regarding our new reading approach early in the summer term (dates set out below). These will be class specific and will give you an opportunity to feedback to us with any comments or concerns. I hope to have had our approach independently audited by then and will be able to update you on the results of that, and how we will move forward with the approach.
School will open again on Monday 27th February.
Have a lovely half term break.
