Parental Involvement

We always welcome ideas and feedback from parents.

Please come in or get in touch at any time if you have an idea, a question or something you would like to discuss.  Our Office staff will point you in the direction or signpost you to the best person to speak to.

Tom (Executive Headteacher), Kitty and Shelly (Assistant Headteachers) are always available on the playground at the start of the school day.  Class teachers and Teaching Assistants enjoy face to face contact with parents on a daily basis too.

Please don't hesitate to ask a question or talk to us.  If you are a working parent we can always talk to you over the phone or arrange to meet you later in the day (at a time that will suit you - we don't finish at 3pm!).

If the matter you would like to discuss is concerning your child, it is always best to speak to your child's class teacher.  They, of course, know your child best and is most equipped to help.

Opportunities to come into school

We want to work with you as parents and carers to ensure that you have as many opportunities as possible to engage with school and work with us to support your child in their learning.  

In addition to a great range of parenting courses and workshops, there are many opportunities for you to visit us:

Parent/Teacher Meetings

These are held two times a year.  This is a formal opportunity for you to meet with your child's class teacher and discuss the progress your child has made.  An integral part of this discussion is your child's next steps for learning and how you can support them in achieving these.

The Big Breakfast Quiz 

This takes place three times a year.  You are invited to come in to school at 8:25am and enjoy eating breakfast with your child in the school hall.  After breakfast you can take part in a fun curriculum quiz with your child/children. You will definitely be impressed with your child's knowledge. 

Walk in Wednesday

These take place on the last Wednesday of Terms 2, 3, 5 and 6.  You are invited to come in to school with your child at the end of the day to tour the school, view their learning environment, view the work your child has covered and informally chat to the teachers. There is often an exhibition, display or activity to take part in too. 

Birthday celebration assemblies

Always take place on the last Friday of every month.  In the month of your child's birthday, you are invited to come in to school to celebrate their birthday in a short assembly in the school hall.

There are several other opportunities for you to come in and celebrate special events with your child.
Information regarding all the opportunities we offer are provided on our events leaflet and detailed on weekly newsletters.
