When you get invited for lunch to complete an audit on Attachment Aware/ Relational Practice @GalmptonPrimary Thank you!!
We loved hearing about the fantastic practice and the incredible support offered to all children! Also, the work being done across the Trust.
Day 2 of our School Readiness (Leaplets) programme for our little ones! Addressing underdeveloped sensorimotor systems through a well thought out circuit and activities. Great support and engagement from the adults.. Beautiful adult‐child connection. @BussModel @TouchBase_UK
All the best to those starting their GCSEs today!! If you need support, please speak with your designated teacher in school, or you can contact the team at the virtual school.
