It was wonderful to see our community come together in support of the event.
Class Placement 2026
As we prepare for next year, we would like to take the opportunity to inform you of the process we use when placing students in their classes for next year. Please note that all teachers place students after examination of several factors which include:
- Social and emotional concerns
- Friendship preferences
- Academic ability
- Staff observations
Your child’s current class teachers construct their class lists in collaboration with their partner year group teacher(s), Learning Assistants and Specialist Teachers. Where possible, the teaching staff will provide experiences for students to interact across the classes to also observe student interactions with students not currently in their class.
Once the teachers have completed their class list recommendations, they are forwarded on to the Primary Leadership Team to be reviewed.
The process of creating class lists is done carefully and over a period of time. Please be assured that every decision we make is in the best interests of your child and understand that, while we recognise the uniqueness and preferences of each student, we will not guarantee a preferred placement.
Please, can we encourage you to trust in the professionalism and dedication of our staff as they consider the many factors in placing your child in a particular class and not make requests for preferred class placements for your child.
You will be notified of your child’s teacher in January 2026 before they commence school.
Lost Property
During the winter months, we have accumulated many sports jackets and jumpers in our lost property collection. We have returned all named items to their owners. If your child is missing clothing, please visit the ELC or Primary Administration Office to see if we have any items that belong to you. Any unclaimed clothing items will be handed over to the uniform shop at the end of Term 3. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Warmest regards,
Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones
