Parental Involvement : Parents' Evenings

Parental Involvement

We aim to foster a meaningful partnership between home and school. To this end parents are always welcome in school - either as visitors or helpers.

Should any parent wish to discuss a matter regarding their child we would wish to share and discuss this sooner rather than later. It is usually possible to have a brief discussion with a class teacher without an appointment at the end of the school day. If further discussion is necessary, an appointment may be made. Likewise, the Headteacher is available for discussion on the same basis. The Headteacher is also committed to teaching every class during the term.

Parents who wish to view the school will need to make an appointment when the Headteacher will be only too pleased to show them around.

Children about to enter school as Rising 5's are given the opportunity to visit their new class. The Reception class teachers visit the children at Pre-school and also have a meeting with parents in school.

Parents' Evenings

Parents are invited to discuss their individual child's progress on a termly basis. These evenings culminate in a written Annual Curriculum Report at the end of the Summer term.

For those children who have been assessed at the end of Key Stage 1 by the Governments Standard Assessment Tests/Tasks (Y2 children only), National Curriculum levels will be indicated on the report to give indication of normal progress.

The Y3 and 4 children are assessed by the optional Standard Assessment Tests and the results of these tests are commented on by class teachers in the Annual Curriculum Report.
