How can I prepare my child for returning to school?
Teachers have been busy updating their class pages on our website here. Please do take a look with your child/ children to see who their teacher will be and what their classroom will look like. Nursery and Reception parents please check Tapestry for updates.
What will be done to support my child to secure any missed learning?
On returning to school in September the first 2 weeks will focus on building relationships with staff and new children and supporting their transition back into school. We will be assessing the core skills of all pupils as we go through the autumn term. Data will be carefully analysed and lessons planned to cover gaps in learning. Some of this teaching will be done with whole class, some with small groups and some on a 1:1 basis. Teachers are highly skilled at identifying needs and planning lessons and activities to meet them.
My child has special needs, will they still receive extra support?
Yes. Teachers, teaching assistants, in-school specialist staff and external professionals will all be deployed as normal to support children with SEND. If you have any concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or Mrs Venners, SENDCo or Miss Last (Assistant SENDCo/ Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead) by email. We have set up a dedicated email address for parents with SEND queries send@ranelaghprimary.net
