Reporting

The Headteacher and staff are always ready to meet with parents to discuss any matters involving their children. It is important however to make an appointment beforehand. A special meeting will be held in the summer term for parents of children who are starting in the nursery class in September. Parents, staff and children are asked to sign a joint home-school agreement, under section 110(1) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, to ensure the establishment of a partnership for the good of the pupil. Arrangements can also be made for parents to view the school by appointment with the Headteacher.

Formal parental interviews are held in the Autumn term where our parents receive a report card. The purpose of these meetings is to allow Parent's the opportunity to discuss their child's progress with the teacher. A further report card is sent out in the spring term for parents to have a formal update on their child's progress. A full detailed report is given at the end of the summer term where parents are invited to discuss it with the teacher. Parents are encouraged to help their children by providing support at home especially for reading. The home/school reading partnership is essential to pupils' progress.

Parents are invited to as many school functions as possible e.g. Christmas concerts, Sports' Day and fund-raising events. We hope to create an informal and welcoming atmosphere where parents feel happy to come into school, especially if they have a problem. It is however important that appointments are made if you wish to see the Headteacher or a member of staff and report to the main entrance front desk in the first instance. We also welcome telephone calls from parents if they have a problem.
