Aspects of Inspire Workshops Parent Involvement: These sessions provide a unique opportunity for parents to work one-on-one with their children in a school setting. Our workshops are very popular so we use the halls. Curriculum Focus: They are designed to highlight specific areas of the curriculum, such as literacy, numeracy, or topic-based subjects. Practical & Engaging: Activities are designed to be hands-on and enjoyable, helping children engage deeper with the topic. Support for Home Learning: Workshops offer insights into how subjects are taught in school, providing parents with ideas to support learning at home. Frequency: They are held for each year group several times across the academic year, such as four times annually.
Windmill House. Thankyou to everyone for all of your fantastic support over the last month. Two petitions along with objection letters from parents, local residents, past pupils and the whole of year 6 were hand delivered to the planning department by Mrs Deakin, Councillor Shaeen and Councillor Muflihi. We now have to wait for the planning department to process the objections and then wait for their response. In the meantime, please go to www.change.org and search for Windmill House. The link to the petition is still there and you can record your objection. You do not need to give any money. Just go to the bottom of the page and click skip. You will need to validate your email for your objection to count.
