Our pre-school liaison (see notes on enrolment) encourages early partnership between home and school and from this initial contact we establish links, which will be further developed during your child’s time in Bargeddie Primary. Partnership with parents is encouraged and welcomed.  Parents are invited to help with a variety of class / school activities e.g. making of resources, art / craft activities, school concerts, parties, outings, general administration etc.

Please Note

It is now a requirement, for any parent who is involved in school activities to be registered in the, ‘Protecting Vulnerable Groups’ scheme. This is arranged by the Head Teacher. Please contact the school office if you are willing to become involved in this process.

Parent Meetings

Under normal circumstances, invitations are extended to parents and carers to come along to school to discuss their child’s progress. These visits take place during the first and fourth terms of the school year. Individual appointments are arranged and issued prior to the visits. In addition to this parents / carers are issued with both an interim and end of session pupil report. We also have a ‘Drop in Facility,’ which allows parents and carers to drop in to discuss any pressing concerns with members of the Management Team or class teachers. Please telephone beforehand to ensure staff are available to meet with you. If you wish to arrange a meeting you should, in the first instance, telephone Bargeddie Primary, 01236 632150, in order that a mutually convenient appointment can be arranged.

Parental Involvement

To allow children to participate in activities out with school, we greatly rely on parental support and assistance to ensure an appropriate level of adult supervision. Many parents, carers, even grandparents assist with such outings and this help is greatly appreciated. Parents are also invited to join us at assemblies, sports days, fundraising activities etc.

Communication

Communication between home and school comes in many different forms. Parents / Carers can expect termly school newsletters, individual class newsletters, telephone calls, as well as updates on classwork via termly Snapshot Jotters which are sent home to allow parents to monitor and comment upon their child’s progress, in addition to the above mentioned opportunities.
