Reports, Open Days, Parent-Teacher Interviews We realise that we share with you the responsibility of caring for your child in every possible way. We try to keep you well informed about school progress and behaviour and we hope you will tell us about anything at home that is possibly disturbing your child. It is also encouraging to the teachers to hear from parents about any projects or books used regularly in school that their children have found particularly interesting or helpful. School Reports are sent to parents of all children twice a year. However, parents may find a visit to school more reassuring, to see their child’s class work and discuss progress with the teacher. Open days and parent-teacher interviews are normally held in the Autumn and Spring terms, but appointments can be made at any time in the school year for parents to come into School to talk about their children with the Class Teacher or Headteacher. Early Years and KS1 children have a Home-School Record Book which enable a regular flow of communication regarding progress and reading. Junior children have a similar book which logs attendance, behaviour, test scores and other comments, on a weekly basis. It is most important that parents see these each week and report to the class teacher if they go missing. This link between home and school is vital to your child’s progress.
Newsletters In order to give parents accurate information about what is happening in school, specific or general newsletters are sent home frequently and can viewed on the school website. Children should understand that newsletters are important pieces of correspondence to be delivered to parents without delay. We also operate a school texting service, whereby we can send short messages and reminders to your chosen mobile phone number.
