Tour of School

On Thursday the 18th April we invited parents to come for a tour of school.  We have had parents ask about what school looks like and many who were once pupils at school wondering how it has changed over the years, so we decided to open our doors and hold a tour.  It is the place your children spend most of their time during term time.

The tour started with the chance to taste a sample of school dinners which both parents and children enjoyed!  Remember all children in reception to year 2 are eligible for a free school meal.  We then took them on a full tour of the school both up and downstairs.

It was fantastic to be able to show parents round as we are very proud of the school and the work we have put into making it a vibrant, safe learning environment for all our children.  If you do not work in school, you often do not realise how big we are and how many different rooms and learning spaces we have.

The feedback was very positive and we will take on board any suggestions.  I have included just a handful of the very positive comments below.  I have also had other parents now ask if we will be holding another tour so we have planned one for Thursday the 13th of June, letters and a booking form will be sent out closer the time.

Lastly a big than you to all the parents who turned up for the tour and taking the time to visit school and provide feedback.
