3rd May 2024 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 03/05/24 I hope this update finds you well. The weeks are flying past this half term, and preparations are already taking place in school for the next academic year. I look forward to sharing information including details of your child’s class next year with you over the coming weeks. INSET Days for next year are further in the update. Preparations are also taking place for those students due to sit exams soon, and our Prize Day, Sports Day as well as our annual end of year report to Parent Carers. Residential Visits At St Martins, we value the experiences that students receive when they attend residential visits with their peers. We believe that these experiences are some of the most exciting times that students have when they are at school and give them unforgettable memories. So far this year, students have visited Lea Green, Mount Cook, York, Kingswood; and more visits are planned for Chester, Blackpool, Shining Cliff, Reading, and York (again – it’s very popular!). Our staff team work hard to facilitate these experiences so that our students have a different opportunity each year they are at St Martins. This takes a huge amount of staff commitment, with lots of preparation, planning and staying away from home to ensure that visits can safely take place. When students are away on residential visits, please could I ask you to support the school by being on stand-by and be available / have a plan in place in case any issues arise on the trip and your child needs to return home. Whilst this is not something that happens regularly, I wanted to bring this to your attention. Following feedback from Parent Carers, we will ensure that the trip leader has an agreed communication strategy so that families are kept up to date with any key information such as when students arrive at their destination.
