Home / School Partnership
Initial Contact
Before pupils are admitted to school, parents will be invited to meet the Headteacher and the child’s teacher. This will give each party opportunity to share information and ask questions. Details about any special pupil needs and contact details will be obtained and parents/ carers will be invited to read and sign a Home/School Agreement. A copy of the Home/School Agreement can be found in this prospectus.
Curriculum Statements
At the beginning of each term, pupils will be given a Curriculum Statement to take home. This statement outlines the areas of teaching to be covered in the forthcoming term. This is aimed at helping parents and carers to become involved in the learning that is taking place. This can be done in many ways, most importantly by talking to the children about their work, finding books together in the library, sharing your knowledge and information, drawing your child’s attention to things that are going on out of school, which are related. If you do not receive these statements please let the class teacher know.
Parent Interviews
In the Autumn and Spring terms parents will be invited to attend a parent interview. This is an opportunity to find out how your child is progressing and to find out what their specific learning targets are. It is also a chance to ask questions or raise any issues or concerns you might have. If you are unable to make the appointment you are given, please inform the teacher and an alternative appointment will be arranged.
If you wish to enquire at any other time about your child’s progress, please feel free to do so, by making an appointment to see their teacher.
School Reports
School progress reports are written in the summer term. Any formal assessment results will be reported in these and future learning targets will be identified.
Should you wish to meet with your child’s class teacher to discuss the report, please make an appointment.
Open Days
In the Summer term you will be invited in to view the work that has been undertaken during the year. This is a chance to celebrate achievement and have a look round the school.
School Newsletter
Each Friday a newsletter is sent home to each of our families, via the pupils. This letter is to keep you informed about what is happening in school.
Class Assemblies
Every term each class presents an assembly to parents and the rest of the school. You will get an invitation to come to see the assembly you will also find the dates advertised in the school newsletter.
Helping in school
Parents and carers, who wish to help in school, should contact the Headteacher. All adults working in school have to undergo checks by the Criminal Records Bureau. This is a simple procedure and can be carried out from the school.
Enquiries and Concerns
If you have concerns or are not happy with any aspects of your child’s education, we request that you contact the school at the earliest opportunity. An appointment will be made to discuss the issues and hopefully we can solve the problem.
Complaints
If you are still not happy with the resolution of any issues concerning your child, you are invited to contact the chair of governors
Mr J. Cawthorn. This should be addressed to the school.
