International Visits

Next week Miss Golightly and Miss Lee will be visiting our partner schools in Zimbabwe and Mrs Lupton will be visiting our partner schools in Tanzania. They will be taking the work our children have been doing on the sustainable development goal about quality education and will bring back work that the partner schools have done to share with our children. We look forward to hearing about the visits and sharing the next steps in these exciting projects that bring the world to Crook Primary.

SEN Progress Meetings

Dear parents and carers,

We have been looking closely at the provision we are making for our children who are supported with a SEN support plan. Staff have carefully reviewed the targets that they set last term and have amended and created new targets. I would like to share with you your child's progress at a short meeting after half term.

If your child is supported by a SEN support plan or if you have concerns about your child please telephone the school office or drop by to make an appointment for one of the following days and times.

Monday 24th February appointments available between 8.00 am and 8.30 am
Monday 24th February appointments available between 1.30 pm and 3.15pm
Wednesday 26th February appointments available between 8.00 am and 8.30 am
Wednesday 26th February appointments available between 3.30 pm and 5.30 pm
Thursday 27th February appointments available between 8.00 am and 5.00 pm

I look forward to seeing you.

Many thanks,

Mrs Cleminson
