Parent Update Evening

Our 3-5 Year Aims and Priorities for 2020-2021

Below is a presentation from our Chair of Governors, Liz Cotgreave. Liz shares our aims for the next 3 to 5 years and the outcomes of our 2020 Parent Survey, then highlights a few of this year's priorities. We've picked some of these to tell you more about in the videos that follow.

The following set of slides are a more detailed version of those in Liz's presentation, and you can see the 2020 Parent Survey results here.

Priorities for 2020-2021

Below Mrs White and the Team share videos explaining how we plan to address some of these priorities and why we feel these are important areas to focus on this year. We will share more videos updating you on our progress in each area of our priorities throughout the duration of the year.

Our Vision and Aims

Aim #1: Brill children move on with ‘the wind in their sails’: with the resilience, thirst for learning and values to sustain them beyond their Brill School years.

Priorities for 2020-2021:

• Ensure all stakeholders have a clear understanding of what a ‘BRILL child’ means and have clarity on our school vision.

The video below will explain to you our curriculum's vision for all pupils at Brill School and explains to you what we mean by 'The Brill Child'.

New routine for drop off and collection

Thank you for your cooperation this morning while we trialled a slightly amended version of our staggered morning start.  Tomorrow we will once again ask all parents and children to wait on the field and we will bring in a year group at a time. 

• The teachers will hold up their year group signs when it is time for your children to come through to the playground.   
• We ask that all parents go directly to wait on the field in the morning and do not enter the staff car park or walk along the pavement to the side of the staff car park to get to the school - please take this into account if you need to leave a little longer to walk around to access the field in the morning.   
• Please wait on the field until you see your class teacher hold up your year group number.  Parents and children can then come forward to the field gate.
• We ask parents to clear the area promptly.
• We will then use the same system to release the children in the afternoon, where we again ask parents to wait on the field until your year group sign is held up. 

 

We hope this will alleviate some of the potential for cross over of parents and children.  If any parents are running late and miss your child's year group entry, please do not come up the pavement as others will be exiting that way, but wait on the field until all year groups have come through and parents cleared the area, then you may come forward.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Mrs White
