Parents & carers

We aim to provide children with a happy, stimulating and challenging environment in which their contribution to the school is valued.

We expect children to be kind and helpful to each other, to develop high self-esteem and self-discipline. We encourage children to find pleasure in learning and playing together, to understand, respect and value the many different cultures and backgrounds that enrich our school and its community.

We believe that we can best succeed in our aims when parents and the school work in close partnership. We actively encourage parental involvement in classes and throughout the school. Between us we have the most important job of educating your children; to enhance their academic and social skills, their emotional and spiritual development and to prepare them for the future. For our part, we will do our best to ensure that your children receive a good education. As a parent or carer, you can ensure that your children get the maximum benefit from their education by involving yourself in and supporting their learning. You can also help by ensuring that your child gets a good night's rest and arrives on time for school.

Parent Interviews

We hold parent interviews in the first half of the Autumn term and again in the Spring term. This is a formal opportunity to discuss all apsects of your child's development in school. In the Summer term, we hold an open afternoon for all parents where you can informally see your child's current teacher and meet your child's teacher for the forthcoming year.

Teachers are always willing to discuss your children's progress at other times in the year but this needs to be arranged at a mutually convenient time.

Yearly and termly plans are on display in each classroom area for you to see what your children will be learning during the year. You can also see our Curriculum Maps on this website.

Parents/Carers Concerns

If you have worries or concerns about your children or their education, these can usually be resolved by informal discussion with the class teacher or the Headteacher. If you feel you have been unable to resolve a problem then please follow the guidance in the leaflet, which can be downloaded by following the link on the right.
