Best Start Assessments

We kicked off Week 1 with our Best Start Assessments for our 2026 Early Stage One students. These short, one-on-one activities help teachers understand each child’s strengths in literacy and numeracy as they begin school. The assessments are designed to feel relaxed and supportive, giving students the opportunity to show what they already know in a familiar classroom setting. 

We cannot wait to welcome our Early Stage One students on Monday 2nd February 2026!

Learner Led Conferences 

Learner Led Conferences will be held on Tuesday 10th, Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th February 2026, from 3.15pm–5.30pm. These conferences provide an important opportunity to discuss your child’s learning and goals for 2026. Parents and carers are encouraged to ensure they have booked an appointment via the COMPASS platform or the front office. Further information about the importance and why of these conferences have been sent out via Compass. 

Looking ahead!
