The school actively promotes links with parents\/carers in a number of ways. Parents\/carers are welcomed into the school to help class teachers whenever possible.\u00a0 Curricular workshops are organised throughout the year. Parents\/carers are kept informed of school events through learning journals, the school website and Twitter feed.<\/p>\n

In September each year we have an \u201cOpen Afternoon\u201d when the children lead their parents\/carers around their new class, look at work and meet the teacher.\u00a0 In November we have the first of our Parent Consultation Meetings where parents\/carers and teachers discuss the child\u2019s progress to date. The second meeting is held in June, just prior to the Summer holidays.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cClass Workshop\u201d events are held in each class each year.\u00a0 These involve parents\/carers being invited into their child\u2019s class to spend some time sharing in the learning.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great opportunity for the children to show the parents\/carers what they\u2019ve been doing and for parents\/carers to gain a better understanding of more ways in which they could support their child.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Parents\/carers are also invited into school each year to see their child preform in their class assembly.\u00a0 These assemblies take the form of the children presenting work which they\u2019ve been doing in class in a more formal way.\u00a0 They can involve songs, plays and computer presentations.<\/p>\n
