Working with parents is vitally important as we believe that without a well-informed and supported parental voice, our school would not be successful. Our parent forum is a space to share ideas, listen, or raise concerns about school life. In addition, the school holds informal coffee mornings, fundraising focus groups and information events.
Every parent is encouraged to share suggestions, success stories or opportunities, as well as to raise issues for discussion.
Communication with parents is also vital. Our multi-disciplinary team communicate with parents through home/school planners, via email, phone, or by using our text messaging facility. We also hold regular parents’ afternoons and evenings for both education and therapy, as well as inviting parents to whole school events like sports days, performing arts productions and special assemblies which celebrate achievement.
Parent view is the new OFSTED site set up to gain the views and opinions of parents from schools across the country, it’s a chance to celebrate all that is good in schools and give the inspectorate information on how well schools are performing. Please note this is not a forum for individual complaints and we would hope parents would contact the school directly in such circumstances where we can quickly address concerns.
