2K Parent/Carer Evening

Tue 06 Feb 2024

Due to a family circumstance, we must postpone Miss Koumi's parents / carer evening Wednesday and Thursday. Whilst Miss Koumi will be teaching the class during the day, she will be unable to conduct the appointments. 2K’s parent/carer evening will now be on 21st/22nd Feb at the same times you have already booked. We appreciate that you may already have plans so if you can’t make the appointment, please let Miss Koumi know and we’ll find an alternative arrangement. I am so sorry if this causes any inconvenience, we wouldn’t have postponed if it wasn’t a matter of urgency. Miss Koumi and I would like to thank you in advance for your understanding on this.

End of term update

Fri 22 Dec 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you for all your support over the last term. It's been a privilege to join Team Dudley Wood and to work with you and your children. I'm writing to update you on two staffing changes:

Miss Antill - Teaching Assistant in RCW- will be leaving us today. Miss Antill has been a brilliant asset to our team. I'm sure you'll agree, her dedication and nurturing personality has been a great influence on the children she has worked with. Whilst we are sad to see her go, we wish her the best of luck in her relocation.

Pat - our Housekeeper- is also retiring today. Pat has been at our school for many, many years. Pat is not only an amazing housekeeper but also an amazing person. She has touched so many lives here at this school with her kindness, humour, wisdom and passion. We are all very grateful for having her as part of our team. We wish her all the best for her retirement.

Lunches

After the Christmas break, sandwiches and jacket potatoes will return to our menu daily. This change has been made following feedback from our children and families. Due to this change, wraps will no longer be on offer, in replacement of sandwiches. Fillings will be ham, cheese or tuna mayo. See photo below with Relish's offer.

That leaves me with one thing to say. I hope you all have a relaxing break. To those celebrating Christmas, "Merry Christmas" from all staff; may 2024 bring you lots of joy and happiness. We can't wait to welcome you back on Tuesday 9th January.

Mr Beacham
