Feedback from Parents
Can I thank all of you for your support over the last two weeks. Here is some lovely feedback which I wanted to share:
‘I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the amazing effort you are all putting into homeschooling. Every teacher I have had to contact has got back to me straight away and been amazing. All the work sent everyday is great and fun. You're an amazing school full of very caring adults. I’m so glad I chose this school for my children. In a time of crisis I don’t think there is a better school out there. Thank you so much’.
and...
‘The clap tonight was for you, for all the teachers and TA's that kept our children safe when this storm was brewing, for working so, so hard to get a learning pack put together to help us to teach our kids when they are at home, for supporting us every day when it's needed and for the teachers that are still working’.
We appreciate all feedback. It’s good to know when things are going well - but also how to improve. A big thank you.
Food Donations
We receive donations of miscellaneous food items in school from an organisation called ‘Fareshare’. Normally these are used in school by Breakfast Club and Chill Time Klub. However, during this time we would like to distribute any food we receive to families in need. If over the coming week’s you would like to be considered to receive items, please call the school office. We will prioritise due to need and contact families if/when food is available.
A reminder - keeping in touch
We hope that as many children as possible can share something with their teacher through a Blog comment or email every day - even if it's just to say ‘I’ve done my work!’. All of the blogs can be found on the school website. The class emails are:
- reception.ctk@education
- year.1@ctk.education
- year.2@ctk.education
- year.3@ctk.education
- year.4@ctk.education
- year.5@ctk.education
- year.6@ctk.education
- LH.1@ctk.education (for Learning Hub 1)
- LH.2@ctk.education (for Learning Hub 2)
We hope to support you with any outstanding technical problems; please keep contacting us and we will do everything we can to solve any problems you may have.
Ongoing Support
As always, if you need advice or support in any way please contact us. Even if we are unable to solve problems we will do our best to give advice or signpost you to other agencies.
Have a happy and peaceful Easter.
Yours sincerely
Matt Condon
