Thank you to those parents who attended the sessions. We hope you found them useful. Parents who did come to both sessions were lovely and engaging which is really appreciated. If you are interested in viewing the slides from the presentation, these can be found below.  

We understand there may have been some parents who could not join the online meeting and we can only apologise for this. If you have any questions regarding therapeutic thinking, please contact Mrs Burgess.

Parents may remember the wonderful ‘Parenting in the Digital World’ workshop we offered in February. The feedback from the parents who were able to attend was overwhelmingly positive. I too found the session invaluable which is why I am really pleased to tell you that Richard will be visiting our school on Wednesday 19th June to work with the children. He will be delivering 2 sessions (one for the lower school and one for the upper school) on this day.

Parent view from our parent forum meetings suggest that Year 5 parents would like more information about Grafham before starting Year 6. With this in mind, Miss Simmons will be holding a Grafham information meeting for Year 5 parents on Wednesday 3rd July at 6pm. Here you will have the opportunity to find out more about the trip and ask any questions you may have. Year 5 children are welcome to attend with parents/carers. 

To gather an idea on numbers and if you haven't already, please let us know if you will be coming by submitting the form below: 

Some parents in Year 6 will have had children who have already come up through the school and moved onto secondary school but for others, this may be your first child who has reached Year 6 at Almond Hill.  We believe it is important to recognise the hard work, achievements and memories that are made in the time children are here which is why we hold ‘graduations’ for all children in Year 6. It is a wonderful opportunity to really celebrate with families and would love for as many parents to attend as possible. Due to space limitations in the hall, we can allow up to 3 guests per child.  

The graduation will run from 2pm-4pm on the day so where possible, please arrange alternative collection for younger siblings. We like to keep as much of the event a surprise where we can but can assure you, you won’t want to miss it!  

Children will be given 3 tickets to bring home today – please give these to your child’s guests to bring with them. We know that families will want to come but I must stress that we will be up to our maximum capacity for fire regulations so will not be able to allow additional people to attend.
