Family Learning
At Forest and Sandridge, we believe it is vital to ensure our parents have a good understanding of our curriculum. Every term, we invite parents into school for the morning. They will meet with one of our subject leads and then spend time in the classroom, learning alongside the children. Please take a look below at some of the Family Learning Mornings that have taken place recently and the feedback we have had from parents.
