UNSUNG HERO

This week’s unsung heroes are our amazing Flexi Class team. We’d love to give a huge shout out to our fantastic SEND support team – Sophia, Naima, Nahida, Melissa and Ruby. Every single day, they go above and beyond to support our children with complex needs, making sure every pupil feels safe. cared for and able to shine. Their hard work and teamwork have made such a difference, The Speech and Language Therapist recently said that our unit is ‘so effective, with really strong routines that help pupils make amazing progress in communication.’ That brilliant feedback is down to the team’s dedication, patience, and love for what they do. Reine’s leadership makes this all possible. Thank you to everyone involved.

LATE COLLECTION OF PUPILS

Some pupils are regularly being collected late from the office after school instead of the park. We understand that occasionally parents/carers may unexpectedly be late. However if you regularly arrive late to collect, we will send your child to after school club and you will be expected to pay the £7.50 charge for this club. Thank you for your cooperation.
