Oakfield Primary School Oakfield Lane, Bristol BS4 2PQ 9 May 2026 Dear Mr and Mrs Patel, Re: Maya Patel — Year 4 I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to share some observations about Maya over the past couple of weeks, as I feel it is important that we stay closely connected when it comes to how she is getting on both in and out of the classroom. Maya is a bright, capable, and kind member of our class, and I want to begin by saying that nothing I am about to share is a cause for serious concern. However, I have noticed over the past two weeks or so that Maya has seemed a little quieter than usual. She has been less eager to join in with group activities, and on a few occasions has found it difficult to complete tasks that she would normally approach with confidence and enthusiasm. This is quite different from the Maya I know, which is why I wanted to reach out. I want to be clear that I am not writing to alarm you in any way. Children go through periods of adjustment for all sorts of reasons, and it is perfectly normal for their mood and engagement to fluctuate. My only wish is to make sure Maya feels fully supported at school, and to understand whether there is anything happening at home that might be useful for me to know about so that I can better support her here. I would very much welcome the opportunity to have a brief chat — either by phone or in person at a time that suits you — so that we can share our observations and work together on the best way forward for Maya. Please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office to arrange a convenient time. Thank you so much for your continued support. Maya is a wonderful member of our class and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Miss Sarah Clarke Year 4 Class Teacher Oakfield Primary School
