  10. Concerns If you have any worries or concerns, please come in and see us as soon as possible. The quicker we know about it, the sooner we can sort it out. If you are unable to come in, send a note or phone & speak to Mrs Houldsworth or Mrs Hilditch who will relay your message to me. Communication between home and school is very important to us.

  11. Visits out of school • We have a morning session planned at Alsager High School, taking part in a vocal coaching activity! • We have already organised a visit to the DEWA experience in Chester on 3rd October. • We will try to organise a trip for each half term to give the children experiences to support their learning. • We may invite people into school instead to deliver workshops which will support the curriculum but avoid the cost of transport.

  12. Helpers in class We would welcome help making topic books, working with children, hearing readers or accompanying us on out of school visits. You may have a special skill you’d like to share with us like sewing, baking or building… Please let us know if you could do this on a regular basis or occasionally.
