Flexible Class Groupings
Our aim for each student is that they feel safe and happy within their learning environment. Flexible Class Groupings allows us to observe your child within all Foundation classrooms, working alongside their peers. This gives the students the opportunity to build connections and supports teachers in finding the perfect fit for your child academically and socially.
The Foundation teachers will work collaboratively to create the best possible fit for each student and families will be informed of their child’s Foundation teacher and classroom by Friday 8th March.
