Head Teacher’s Blog

As you may be aware, the Department for Education has stated that there will be no reported statutory or teacher assessments this year. This means that there will be no Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, no Year 1 Phonics assessments, no end of Key Stage 1 or 2 assessments.

Contacting class teachers

19th January 2021 By chrisminikun

A reminder that you can contact class teacher’s via their class emails and they will respond between the hours of 8.30-4.30pm Monday to Friday. Many of you are communicating through the chat feature on TEAMS or your microphone which is great.

The emails for the teachers are: –

Mrs Patterson nursery.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Miss Lauder reception.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Mrs Leonard year1.montalbo@durhamlearning.net
