Involving parents and pupils in planning

How will my child be involved in planning for his or her education?

Take responsibility for their learning:

• Keep their homework planner up-to-date.

• Talk to Form Tutors/subject teachers/Learning Support Assistants (LSAs) when they have a problem.

• Select their pathway carefully at the end of Year 9.

• Undertake relevant assessments to qualify for intervention.

• Be involved in the writing of their Individual Education Plans (IEPs).

• Discussions with teachers/LSAs about how their learning could be improved, i.e. what is needed to help them to achieve their targets.

• Identified children (with an Education and Health Care Plan) will take part in the "assess/plan/do/review" process.

How can I as a parent/carer become involved in planning for my child's education?

• Open evenings.

• Parents' evenings.

• Communication with Form Tutor/ Head of Year.

• Planning meetings about your child’s needs.

• Discussions with external agencies.

• Review meetings to explore if your child’s needs are being met.
