Parents’ Evening: On Tuesday 12^th and Wednesday 13^th December, we held our Autumn term parents’ evening.

If you were unable to see your child’s teacher on the given days, please don’t hesitate to make an alternate appointment, either via the school office or by speaking to your child’s class teacher.

 

EYFS Nativity:     It was a delight to be able to see our youngest children perform on stage on Monday 11^th and Tuesday 12^th December and to welcome parents in to school to also enjoy the experience.

Children’s Commissioner: On Friday 8^th December, we were visited by representatives of the Children’s Commissioner and they were keen to speak to our children about what they think of the world around them. Our children came up with some insightful responses about how they would like to feel safer in the local community and suggested things like extra police patrols and security cameras. They also talked about the things that they like at Moat House and there was a common theme – they love the Moat House reward system like golden tickets, house points, attendance prizes, teacher award prizes and especially Tea at 3 with Mr B!
