PARENTS AT WADDESDON (PAWS

The purpose of PAWS is to encourage teachers, parents and children to meet together for social and fundraising activities. This is a valuable asset and support for the school. The main aim is to support the work of the school and to develop home-school links thereby enabling your child to receive the best from their education.

As a parent you are welcome to attend informal meetings during the year and each September a committee is elected. The committee organises a variety of functions throughout the year, which help to raise funds for extra resources for the school. PAWS has provided a huge range of valuable resources over the years including books, our school pond, iPads, Maths resources, STEM week, the list goes on. They have organised discos, quiz nights, summer fetes, film nights, Christmas bazaars and raffles.

PAWS needs your support to continue this valuable contribution to your child’s education.

PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

We see education as a partnership, and greatly value parental help and support. Parents and friends are encouraged to come into school and there are many different events which are shared with the whole school community. Parents are always welcome in school to find out about their child. We also have systems in place to ensure parents are kept up to date with their child’s progress with written reports produced at the end of each term, as well as an opportunity to meet with the teacher in the Autumn and Spring terms. The school also has international links with the Mason School in the Gambia, and national links with a school in Aylesbury.
