Working with Parents

We believe that parents have a fundamental role to play in helping children to learn effectively at school.

We do all we can to inform parents about what and how their children are learning by:

• Sharing information at the start of each term, which outlines the topic that the children will be studying.
• Holding parents’ evenings each term.
• Sending parents annual reports.
• Keeping the website and Twitter up to date.
• Explaining to parents how they can support their children with homework.
• Sending a fortnightly newsletter to parents.
• Inviting parents to share class assemblies and whole school events.
• Holding workshops to inform and involve parents in their child’s learning.

Parents support their child’s learning in school by:

• Promoting a positive attitude towards school and learning.
• Ensuring that their child has the best attendance record possible.
• Ensuring that their child is equipped for school with the correct uniform and PE kit.
• Informing school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a child’s performance or behaviour.
