Outings All the pupils at DUCKS will go on outings related to a topic, a story theme or a place to enjoy. At the beginning of each academic year you will be contacted via DUCKSPost and your permission requested for your child’s attendance on trips/outings. Any photographs will be published in the weekly newsletter and displayed on the foyer screen. These outings range from a walk to the College, a half day visit to a nearby place of interest or a full day outing. College mini buses, hired coaches and on some occasions public transport may be used. Every trip is risk assessed and the trip leader will organise the correct ratios of adults to pupils. Parents will be informed if we require extra adult supervision. Parents and Carers Parents and carers are a hugely important part of the DUCKS community. We want to make you all feel welcome and included. We hold talks throughout the year on topics that we feel will be useful and relevant to parents with children at DUCKS. There are lots of opportunities for parents and carers to work with their children in school and these are advertised in our newsletter each week. We believe that children benefit most when parents/carers and staff work together in partnership to ensure quality care and learning for the children. DUCKS staff welcome parents/carers as partners and this relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding. It is important that we support parents/carers in an open and sensitive manner. A two way sharing of information, knowledge and expertise is key to this. Parents and Carers Week Parents and Carers Week is an annual event at DUCKS. This is an opportunity for you to participate in school life and special events including: • stay and play classroom sessions • joining in PE, Music lessons or Library visits • open classrooms • shared reading We hope you can join us during this fabulous week and experience learning with your child/ren.
