‘Aiming High for Disabled Children’

The government is asking all local authorities to get parents and carers of disabled children involved in shaping services.

There is some money available to make sure parents and carers can be more involved and participate in making decisions about services that affect their children.

Your involvement is crucial to ensuring we get as many views as possible and it does not necessarily mean attending meetings: it could also mean having a coffee morning or a social evening to discuss services or commenting via emails on how things are moving forward. So long as parents are talking to each other and making sure their views are getting to the right people, then we can be sure that their views are being sought. It could also lead to a Parents’ Forum.

Festive Season

Fireworks

Fireworks Parents’ Group at Christ Church School, Batten Street SW11, are inviting you to the Art Workshop on Saturday 11. October from 10am – 12 in one of the School’s classrooms, to celebrate Guy Faux’s Day, Eid and  Diwali – ‘The Festival of Light’, where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.

New Parents’ Group

WoW Mums joined the parents in Christ Church School in Battersea,  Batten Street, SW11 and started the new Parents’ Group with the aim to introduce the school to new parents and to bond the community. It also helps the parents to find out and share experiences and new things that are awaiting their children in years ahead. We plan to celebrate multicultural events and organise educational workshops.We meet every Monday morning (term times) from 9-11am in the school’s music room. Everybody is welcome to come and have a relaxing chat and a cup of tea.

Summer picnic

Just before the school started, we had a fun picnic in Fredwell’s Gardens. While Mums were catching up on holiday stories, the children played tennis and other outdoors games in the lovely park. Everybody agreed that because of the bad weather, we couldn’t make most of it this summer.
