 ~~Online Parental Engagement Survey~~

 The Sandbach and Haslington Schools are doing a piece of research around parental views regarding engagement with their child’s school and their education. We are therefore asking all parents if they would follow the link below and complete the questionnaire. All responses are anonymous.

All you have to do is click onto the link and it will take you directly to the survey-there is no need for passwords, logins etc.

The questionnaire will stay open until 15^th April and obviously the greater the numbers, the more meaningful the results- so any support is greatly appreciated.

 ~~Year 5 Residential Trip to Pensarn~~

 Just a reminder that there is meeting on Thursday 17^th March 2011 at 6.30pm in the main hall. This meeting is an update of any information required. You will also receive a kit list and medical forms that require completion.

• Income Support 
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance 
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance 
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 
• The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

At The Dingle School we use a cashless system that ensures that no-one on free school meals is recognised
