Headteachers Update 24th November 2022

Happy Friday everyone. Today’s training day has a range of training for staff on offer, we have Makaton, NAPPI (Our positive behaviour training), Moving and Handling and some training on supportive classrooms and our non negotiable strategies we embed across our school.

We benefit from having trainers within our staff team for Makaton, NAPPI and Moving & Handling. A big thank you to Sarah T, Shona, Sarah S & Stacey for their training.

Just a few ‘shout outs’ from parents this week. Kate has shared her excitement of a UK based company for blended meal pouches for older children, this is great for last minute meals, camping trips, holiday essentials. Thank you Kate for sharing this with us. Visit the website for more information. https://wilbosblends.co.uk/

The second shout out is for SENses, is a group set up by a group of HMO parents (past & present) for children in special schools to share information about provision and offers in York and the surrounding areas for pupils with SEND. Please visit their Facebook group to join the group.

Today we say goodbye and good luck to Emma Priest who is starting her maternity leave today. Lucia will be Seedlings new class teacher, Lucia has worked in Hob Moor Oaks since September. We wish Emma lots of luck and best wishes as she hopefully has a little rest before her new arrival.
