School Communication Feedback

We are currently exploring ways in which we can improve communication from school to ensure relevant information gets to parents effectively and consistently.

 

Currently, our main source of information is via the school website. Parents can sign up to an automated email service (“MailChimp”) for your child’s specific class. If something has been published to a classes’ bulletin, an email is automatically sent to all of those signed up. This service is not always perfect and emails do often get blocked or filtered. As well as individual website posts, we collate posts to create a newsletter and will post key information on the school Facebook page.

 

We are just looking at how the school community would prefer to receive information and whether there are any changes/improvements we can make. If you could fill in the following Microsoft Form: https://forms.office.com/e/Gseg4Hb94g

Mid-year reports

Children will be coming home with their mid-year reports today.

 

Reception children do not have mid-year reports and there’s will come at the end of the year – and, unfortunately, due to the current school structure, Scorpions reports will be coming home with children on the first half term after the Easter break.

 

Staff spend a considerable amount of time writing these reports, and we have also made a number of changes to their format this year to try and ensure the most useful information is present in a easy-to-find way (following feedback from previous years), and so we’d really appreciate some feedback on how useful and effective you find the different elements of the report format.

If you could fill in the following Microsoft Form after reading your child’s report, it would be hugely appreciated: https://forms.office.com/e/53qrHfVZNx

FOBCS – Easter Fundraising

FOBCS are currently raising funds for some new cubbyholes to replace our existing pegs – which, with a increase in numbers over the past few years, have become particularly unmanageable.

We currently have a “guess the name of the rabbit tiger” – which costs £1 per guess. The actual name of the tiger will be announced in Thursday’s well-done assembly – with the winner receiving the tiger and a small Easter egg.

We currently have 50 names remaining and will be opening this up for people to have a second guess from Tuesday.

Potential Part-time Caretaker Position

We are currently exploring our options of taking on a part-time caretaker. Our initial plans with this would be on a (flexible – if needed) one-day-a-week basis.

 

If anyone with experience in interior and exterior maintenance/repairing that would be interested in this, the please get in touch (admin@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk), and we can discuss whether this could work.
