We are looking forward to welcoming you all to our new Learning Together group in Aycliffe. There is no requirement to attend all 6 of the weeks of the pilot project, but please let me know if you are not able to attend so I can free up extra spaces for others. The classes will be run by myself, and I have a teaching assistant Emma who will be supporting the group. We may also have additional volunteers some weeks. Please be assured all adults are qualified, experienced and have up to date DBS certificates.

On your first visit, please come through the main entrance that faces towards Tesco, the back entrance will be locked. We will aim to have someone waiting to walk everyone through to the room we are using, which is currently Meeting Room 1. In case there is no one about, to get to the room you walk past the reception and take the second corridor on your left which is signposted Meeting Rooms. The main entrance door will likely be locked when you return to collect your child, to ensure members of the public are unable to just walk into the building, and we will only release children to a known adult - if someone different will be collecting your child please let us know.

There are toilets in the main entrance area, and we would appreciate it if you would ensure your child has been to the toilet before starting (as best as possible, we know what kids are like!).

Children do not need to bring anything, however any homework, spellings, reading books etc are very welcome and will enable us to support your child in the best way possible. If your child doesn't bring their own work, we will provide resources we feel are suitable for their age and stage they are working at. You are welcome to send your child with their water bottle, to help keep them hydrated. 

The sessions are drop off, meaning adults do not join us in the room, however, you are welcome to sit in the entrance if this reassures you or your child - please let us know in advance if you will be doing this. 

My number, should you need to contact me is 07710 478583. In the event I don't answer (usually because I am working), please drop me a brief text message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. 

It would be appreciated if all parents could compete the following questionnaire before their child's first session: https://surveyheart.com/form/62a1e1ded2ae5a1463df240b

I sincerely hope I have covered everything. Sorry there is a lot of information - but I wanted it to all be in one place!
