Keyworker System

We operate a “Keyworker system” which involves each child being allocated a member of staff who is responsible for assessing, planning and monitoring their development during each term. Your child’s progress will be recorded in their achievement book and on progress sheets, which are then used to produce a progress report for parents at the end of the summer term. Your child’s written records are available for you to view at any time.
