Since the pandemic we have been rebuilding and developing opportunities for parents to work with our school. This year, parental engagement is a core school improvement priority. Parents & carers have been consulted on the areas they would like more help and support with and we are taking these forwards this session.
We recognise that parents play the most fundamental role in the growth and development of their children. Spending time with your child, discussing work, practising language (Gaelic, French, Spanish and English) helping with homework management and encouraging responsibility are all important ways of supporting your child‘s learning. This partnership in our children’s education is greatly valued at Farr High School.
We always welcome parents to come and meet with the Head Teacher, Depute or our Guidance Teacher, if there are questions or issues that you would like to discuss.
The school will always seek to involve parents in any key decisions about their child‘s education and keep you informed about progress. This includes:
Monitoring and Tracking Interim Reports - issued to parents once per session
Full Reports - issued to parents once per session
Parents' Evenings - during the school session we hold five parents' evenings per year with exact dates and arrangements sent out by letter.
Options Night - opportunity to meet with the Head Teacher and Depute to discuss course choices for children within the Senior Phase (S4-6).
Pupil Profiles – sent home with S3 reports in March
Newsletters - termly
Facebook page and website
In addition to these arrangements, you should feel free to contact the school at any time to discuss any matters concerning your child’s progress. Please telephone the school first so that an appointment can be made. We will also contact you by telephone or email as and when necessary if we have issues or concerns to share with you.
