Hi All

First off...  A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Stephanie on the birth of her beautiful baby girl.
 We all wish mum & baby well and look forward to meeting her.

Thanks to those who attended the session today, I could see some good partnership working in the classroom and I can only apologise for the disruption with room venues. We should be back to normal next week.

We will finish off complaints next week and move onto Safeguarding the week after.

See you then!
