Parents
Parents are the first educators of their children and should be involved in their primary education whenever possible.
It is really important that parents feel welcome supported by our school and that they, in turn, appreciate the work that their children and our staff put in.
Parents will not be contacted by staff outside of weekday working hours.
Our school prides itself on the pastoral support that we give our families. We have a dedicated Pastoral Lead, Mrs Wickstead, who works in many ways to support our families:
- dedicated Pastoral Support role
- Early Help support - providing individual, personalised support depending on family requirements
- Signposting parents for further support such as Parenting 2000
- Organising additional support for parents internally, e.g. reading sessions
- Organising awareness sessions for parents with external agencies, e.g.:
- Family Cookery course
- Friday wellbeing for parents - exercise and meditation
- Coffee mornings for parents to come into school in a relaxed environment
- raising awareness with parents for specific issues such as ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences)
- 1:1 appointments are available
