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 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.

• Supporting their child in extending their learning beyond the classroom, e.g. though home learning.

“Despite the school’s good outcome from its relatively recent Ofsted inspection, school leaders are pressing ahead with energy and drive to continue their work on school improvement.”
