WELCOME TO BRUNEL, CHICHESTER AND STEPHENSON (Year 1)

Our Year 1 Teachers Mr Tom Byrne (Chichester), Miss Sarah Booth (Stephenson) and Miss Danielle Elson (Brunel) welcome you and along with the following staff members, Mrs Gemma Annett (Special Needs Assistant), Mrs Lorna Baldwin, (Higher Level Teaching Assistant), Mrs Paul's Bolton (Special Needs Assistant), Miss Mary Chambers (Teaching Assistant), Ms Michelle Gilbert (Special Needs Assistant) and Mrs Louise Johnson (Teaching Assistant) very much look forward to getting to know you and your children over the coming year.

The information below will keep you up-to-date with what is happening in class each week and ways in which you can support your child with their learning. We will also display this page in the classroom windows each week.

KEEPING IN TOUCH:
Each class has a 'Going home' book kept by the door for you to keep us informed of any changes in the collection arrangements for your child. If you need to let us know any information relevant to your child, please write a letter, or a member of staff is available on the door in the morning for brief messages. Your child's class teacher is usually available for longer chats at the end of the day, or alternatively you can make an appointment with your child's class teacher by contacting the School Office (01483 563701 or

office@boxgrove.surrey.sch.uk). Thank you!

STAFF ABSENCE/COVER
We actively encourage all our staff to further their Professional Development by attending internal and external training courses. When staff attend such courses and they are during the school day, your child’s class will be covered either by another member of our teaching staff, one of our experienced Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA’s) or by a Supply Teacher.

The above cover will also be put in place to cover any sickness/absences.
