Anne Love of Love Autism will be hosting an information session for parents and carers of children either with a diagnosis of Autism or for those who are in the process of being assessed/awaiting assessment. 

The session will provide information on how you can support your child during school holidays which can often present as a difficult time for children with Autism. 

Please see the information poster attached for further details. It is hoped that these information sessions will continue at Crawforddyke over the course of next session.

Small Parent Group Required!

Here at Forth we are beginning to think about our budgets for next year and how we allocate some of these funds. Last session Participatory Budgeting was introduced. Participatory Budgeting (PB) allows everyone involved in our school community a direct say on how a percentage of our Pupil Equity Fund (PEF) is spent. Forth will be allocating a minimum of £3,186.00 (5% of PEF allocation) to Participatory Budgeting to be spent in the session ahead - August 2022-June 2023.

To help us really understand the needs of the families in Forth I would like to invite interested parents to come along on Friday 20 May at 2:15pm to the Community Room for a cuppa and a chance to share your ideas on how we can support you to keep the cost of the school day down. 

We are looking for a small group of parents who will join the House Captains and I for a one-off meeting - if you are able to attend this would be much appreciated. The meeting will be finished in time for 3pm.

Many thanks,
Elizabeth Steele
Head Teacher
