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

You will be given the email address of your child’s class teacher enabling you to make contact regarding any queries or concerns. We do encourage that you talk to the teachers, co-teachers or senior staff at the classroom door or school gate as much as possible. If you would like to see your child’s class teacher in person, then you can do so by contacting the office or the class teacher directly to arrange a mutually agreeable appointment time.

Parent's evening

Twice during the academic year you will be invited to attend a parents' evening to meet your child’s class teacher, during which we will outline current learning and progress towards age related expectations, explaining how you can support your child’s learning at home.

You will also receive a written report annually.

We hold workshops for parents to help parents with their child's learning and development at home.

We also collect a series of guides and resources that are available on Spark. This covers topics such as supporting your child's learning, keeping safe online, and maintaining good mental health.
