Informal catch up/Ofsted feedback
Date: Thursday 9 December
Time: 11.00 – 2 pm (face-to-face)
Venue: Beverley Leisure Centre
The PCF have booked the conference room at Beverley Leisure Centre for a face-to-face meet up with lunch provided. This will give us the opportunity to feedback following the recent Ofsted Inspection, but also to catch up with each other before the Christmas break. Christmas jumpers and/or accessories are positively encouraged. We will also be welcoming to the session Adele Simpson (SEND Communication and Partnership Manager), Sara Ness (SEND Designated Clinical Officer), and Daniel Pott (Sendiass Coordinator). This is a fantastic opportunity for parents/carers to meet for an informal get together and receive any required information from these services. The PCF will cover any travel expenses or childcare costs for any parent/carer attending.
Can you please confirm your attendance by sending an email to admin@eypcf.co.uk this will help finalise numbers for catering requirements.
