Children In Need Day - Friday 15th November
Over the course of next week we will have Children in Need pens, wristbands and badges available from the office and brought round to the classrooms, these are priced at £1 each. On Friday, for Children in Need day we ask if children would like to come to school in something spotty, brown or yellow along side their normal uniform and for this we would ask for a £1 donation to the Children In Need charity. Friday will coincide with Nursery and Reception's Nursery Rhyme dress up day so those children are asked to come in wearing their nursery rhyme costume instead.
PINS Parent / Carer Meeting
We asked for Galley Hill to be part of the Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) programme. This is a programme initiated by The DfE and NHS England. The aims are to meet the needs of children with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) in mainstream schools to improve outcomes (across attainment, attendance and wellbeing) and parental confidence.
Galley Hills actions are to:
Use knowledge learnt from PINS training to ‘promote a culture which celebrates diversity’.
To use Language, Sensory and Physical audits to develop school environments.
To develop opportunities for Parent/ Carers voice to input school policy and practice.
Please come along to the next Parent/Carer meeting that will be held on Friday 6th December 8.55am in school. This meeting is run by a representative from the Herts Parent Carer Involvement (HPCI).
Stop Means Stop Campaign
Some lollipop men and women across Hertfordshire will be wearing a bright ‘stop means stop’ tabard this November (4/11/2024 – 15/11/2024). The ‘stop means stop’ campaign is run to remind drivers how important it is to stop for a patrol, who keep you and your children safe every time you cross the road. Please see if you can spot any of the patrols wearing these tabards.
Please show your support for them by stopping for your patrol.
