N/A Dear Parent/Carer, This week we have welcomed a new member of staff, Mrs Nazia Bashir who joined our team this week. Mrs Bashir successfully led teaching and learning in her last post and will be responsible for key stage 2 at MCPA. Can I please remind parents to consider our neighbours and the safety of our children when picking up and dropping of children via car. We need to ensure that the path outside the school is clear so that we can accept deliveries and emergency vehicles can get access to the school in case of a fire or injury. Please do not park on restricted areas, as traffic enforcement officers have been informed and you may receive a parking notice and fine. We are in the position to offer an addition extra- curricular club on a Thursday - Taekwondo club from 19th May onwards.

Parent focus group MCPA is looking for parents of current children to join its parent focus group. The group would meet once per term with a member of the Academy's senior leadership team in order to give the Academy the parents' perspective on changes, initiatives and strategies. An example of a focus group session might be 'How do you know how well your child is doing in school?' in which we look at the reporting cycle and format of formal reports to ensure that parents have access to all of the information which they would like. If you are interested in joining the parent focus group and are happy to commit to meet one morning 3 times per year, please contact MCPA reception.
