At Dunannie we value the individual and aim to unlock and develop each child's potential.
Most children have their needs met through our curriculum. However, there are some children who may find some difficulty in specific areas of learning, such as reading and spelling. All children are carefully monitored by their class teacher who will identify a child having difficulties.
Parents may also have some anxieties. Parents' views are always welcome as this helps us form a complete picture of a child. We have an Open Door Policy and we encourage parents to talk to staff at school. We like to help children as quickly as possible so that they do not lose their confidence or become demotivated.
Written reports are produced for each child in Nursery to Year 3 once a year.
There are Parents' Evenings for Nursery to Year 3 in the second half of each term when parents have a meeting with their child's teacher to discuss progress and any other relevant issues.
All Parents are invited to a Curriculum Information Evening early in the Autumn Term at which the class teacher explains the outline of the academic year ahead and how you, as parents, can be involved and help your child. It is also a social occasion and an opportunity for you to meet fellow parents and the year Group staff.
