You are the most important educators of your child. In your hands you make and mould the life your child will have. We want to recognise and value your role and to work alongside you. There are lots of opportunities for you to become involved in your child’s learning - by volunteering to help in class or maybe by sharing your talents in Assembly or through an after-school activity. You could become part of our Eco school committee or help in the school garden.

Each term, we host school events such as school assemblies, concerts, work-shops, open afternoons and evenings, sports day and prize-giving. Children are always so proud to have a parent, aunt, uncle or grandparent to see them take part in these events. Please come along to these events, they are very special days for both you and your child.

We believe that much of the strength of the school lies in the positive relationships between staff, pupils and their parents and the community. These relationships must be nurtured by a healthy exchange of information between teachers and pupils, between home and school. We always welcome parental interest in the welfare of our pupils.  Whatever the nature of the issue, you can be assured of our help.

The school works very hard to keep parents informed and involved regarding their child’s progress and any key decisions being made about their education. This includes:

• Our Seesaw App

• Parents’ evenings

• Progress checks

• Target Setting

• Pupil profiles sent home termly

• Information on the school website

• Regular information and reminders about events on our closed facebook page

The support of parents in their children’s education is key to the success of young people.  Taking time with them, discussing work, practicing language, helping them manage their homework and encouraging responsibility are important ways of supporting children’s learning.

The school always seek to involve parents in any key decisions about their child’s education and keep parents informed about progress.

Parental information is obtained from questionnaires issued regularly and from Parents evenings and from Parent Forums.
