Parents Coffee Morning - Key Stage 3 Literacy skills
Parents and carers enjoyed refreshments and a presentation given by Mrs Garvey, our Learning Resource Centre Co-Ordinator and a selection of our English teachers. The discussion was focused on how parents can help their children develop their reading and writing skills. The event was very well attended and we look forward to welcoming parents in to the academy for more coffee mornings in the future.
