How can I prepare my child for returning to school?
Talk to your child about returning to school – talk about the things that they are looking forward to as well as any worries/ questions that they might have.
Do try to start getting back into a routine – going to bed earlier and preparing uniform, lunch, bags etc… the night before.
What will be done to support my child secure any missed learning?
Our first priority over the next 3 weeks is to support children in their return to school. We will not be carrying out our usual end of spring term assessments. Teachers will be using other ways to assess where children are in their learning and looking at their next steps as we move into the summer term. Annual school reports will be delayed this year until later in the summer term – further information will follow when available.
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
