If you need any support or would like to discuss how we can best work in partnership to support your child in school, we are always here to help. Your class teacher is always the first point of contact, followed by Mrs Sloan as Key Stage 1 Lead. For any advice on special educational needs, it may be appropriate, after speaking with the class teacher, to also contact Mrs Whitehead, who is our school Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENDCO).   

Smaller queries can often be answered at drop off times, however for more private conversations, or those that may take a little longer, please make an appointment by discussing this with the teacher or calling the school office instead.  

Please be advised that collection time is a very busy time, and not a time when we can give you our full attention.

Good attendance and punctuality are vital, not only for learning, but also to help pupils settle into their new school routine, make friends and grow in confidence.  

Each week, we like to celebrate the class with the best attendance in assembly and they will receive a reward. In Year 2 we are fiercely competitive- help us to be the best by being in school every day and on time!  

Our classroom door opens at 8.45am for the start of the day and collection time is at 3.10pm.

Building good learning habits at home and reinforcing learning that happens at school is important. To help with this, regular homework will be set and engagement with this greatly appreciated.  

Daily reading of books sent home- these are changed weekly  

(please write in the blue reading record each time you read with your child to help 

 them earn a Reading Champion Badge on our class display)  

Weekly Spelling and Handwriting practise (as part of spelling practise)  

Regular and ongoing times tables practise online using TTRockstars 

(pupils have been provided with user names and passwords) 

Developing strong readers is our priority. All pupils read in school daily and have since Week 1 had reading practise sent home, coinciding with their reading stage. Reading each day, with your child at home, will help to accelerate learning and help your child to grow in confidence. Please help us by writing in the blue home-school reading record when you read with your child, keeping the home school partnership strong. We will be celebrating regular reading by awarding Reading Champion Badges in school, on our class display. Some pupils have already earned their first badge, which is fantastic. We love seeing them beam with pride.  

Here are some Y2 book recommendations, which you can enjoy reading 

at home with your child, in addition to the ones we send home weekly.  

More information on reading, and the rest of the curriculum, can be
