• Teaching Strikes

  Fri 27 Jan 2023

  Please see the letters sent out tonight that confirm which classes will/ will not be in school on Wednesday. This is still subject to change, and we will communicate any changes to you as soon as we are able to.

  Children whose classes are closed will be allocated a special attendance code to reflect this, which will not count against their attendance. Children whose classes are in that day will be expected to attend as normal, and will be marked as unauthorised if they are not in. We will follow up any absences in the usual way if we do not hear from parents.

  For the children entitled to benefits related free school meals who are not in that day, a grab bag will be sent home on Tuesday.

  Please remember that this is nationally planned strike action, and is not specific just to Marland Hill. It is a national dispute between unions and the government, and not linked to any issues at our school.

  SENCO Coffee Morning: Monday 30th January, 9am-10am, school hall, please come to the main office.

  If you are the parent of a child with a special educational need or disability it can be challenging at times but you are not alone and support is available. Due to the success of our ‘meet the SENDCO meeting ‘ last term we aim to bring together a group of parents who can meet on a regular basis to share ideas, tips and offer advice in a friendly environment.

  Our main topic of discussion this term will be mental health. Harriet Gilson (Educational Mental Health Practitioner) from Mental Health Support Teams will be joining us to talk about supporting children’s mental health and answer any questions that you may have.

   

  Come and join us for a drink and a chat. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
