At Kildrum Primary School, we believe that parents and carers should have regular opportunities to see and discuss their child’s learning. One of the ways we support this is through our Our Week in School programme, which takes place twice each year.

During the week, every child is given an Our Week in School jotter and folder. Throughout the week, examples of learning from every lesson are recorded and collected. This may include written work, photographs, artwork, practical activities or other evidence of learning. Photographs are also shared with families through Class Dojo, helping parents and carers gain an insight into the wide range of experiences children enjoy in school.

At the end of the following week, children take their jotter and folder home. This provides a valuable opportunity for families to look through a full week’s learning together, celebrate achievements and talk about the skills and knowledge their child has developed. Parents and carers are invited to add a comment, helping us continue the conversation between home and school.

Over time, the jotters and folders build up a rich picture of each child’s progress, achievements and learning journey. We hope that Our Week in School helps families feel even more connected to their child’s education and provides meaningful opportunities to engage in their learning and success.
