You asked . . We did

At Holmer Green First School and Pre-School, we believe that it is important to work together to make our school the best that it can be! Here are a few actions which we have recently implemented based on feedback.

• The children said that they would like a water fountain on the playground.

The Friends have worked tirelessly to raise money for the school, allowing us to install two new water fountains on the playground. The children are delighted with their 'yummy water'! 

• You said that the Pre-School outside area needs improvement.

The Pre-School outside area has had a major overhaul. The size of the space has been increased and a wide range of equipment has been added. The children love their new provision! 

• You asked us to reduce the number of emails which we send out.

We now limit the number of emails which are sent out on a daily basis. Whole school emails are sent out on a Monday and Year Group emails are sent out on specific days.

• You said that you would like regular feedback from the Pre-School staff regarding your child's progress.

All Early Years parents now have access to Tapestry. Parents can contribute to their children's assessments as well as view observations made by school staff. To bring the Pre-School inline with the school, parents are now invited to attend Parent Teacher Meetings and receive a Pre-School report.

• You asked us to add a wider range of dates to the school calendar.

We have now added all school dates to the website calendar. Parents can subscribe to our calendar so that the events are pulled through onto their device.

• You asked us to consider a wider range of activities for the Juniors at After School Club.

We have worked with the Juniors to develop the provision at After School Club. After gaining pupil voice, we have purchased resources, games and toys which are age appropriate for the Juniors. We have also created Cosy Corner, a break out space where the Juniors can go during After School Club sessions.
