Parent Engagement

Pupils, parents, teachers all sign a ‘Commitment to Achievement’ agreement. This is a joint promise that all of us will put in the time and effort required for our children to succeed. Parents are expected to support children by supervising home learning, ensuring that children attend school and wear the correct uniform.

Parents and carers are an integral part of our school community, and your feedback forms an essential part of our ongoing development and improvement. We regularly run surveys and sessions to gather your views on the education your child is receiving, and to understand where we can do better.

You can share your feedback via these channels:

• Ofsted's Parent View tool. This survey consists of 12 short questions around topics such as teaching and behaviour, and will feed into our ongoing development plan
• Directly with a member of our staff
• The main school office

Each Friday your child’s online Seesaw account will be updated with a new post that includes:

• Home Learning Question, to be completed for the following Friday (this can be uploaded to Seesaw or you can bring this into school)
• Mathletics link, to be completed at home during the week
• New spellings, to be practiced and these will be tested on the following Friday
• School newsletter for your child to read

Each Friday, your child will receive the following items in their bookbag:

• Spelling test results from that week (Y1 –Y6)
• Reading books
• Phonics books (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2)

Each half term, you will be invited to an exhibition that your child is part of with their class. For example, this may be a class assembly or a visit to their classrooms and will usually be at the start or the end of the school day to make it easier for parents to be able to attend. You will be informed with as much notice as possible of these and we would be delighted to welcome you into school to find out more about what your child has been learning – I know your children will be very proud to share this too.

Each half term, you will receive a ‘Topic Web’ which will contain further information regarding what your child will be learning in school during the coming half term and any upcoming class events.
