As part of our
transition programme, our Primary One parents were invited to
school to "Meet the Teacher". Many parents were able to attend
and enjoyed having the opportunity to speak to their child's
teacher in an informal way. They were able to ask questions
about any issues or concerns and were given information and
advice on curricular areas, PE routines and homework
activities.
Feedback from
parents and staff was extremely positive. Parents felt more
informed and reassured and were glad to be able to put a face to
the names of these important new people in their child's life!!
