HOME, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY LINKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>As well as the formal interviews with parents to discuss children\u2019s progress, parents are invited to attend Curricular Workshops and regular Whole School events. Meetings are arranged for the parents of children going to Kilbowie Outdoor Centre and for parents of children preparing for Sacraments. Parents are kept in touch about current and future events by letter, newsletters, school app\u00a0and daily tweets on Twitter. Parents are invited to whole school assemblies and various events throughout the school year.<\/p>\n

At St. Mary\u2019s we have an active policy of promoting community links. We have established a strong partnership with our Community Learning & Development Worker through a number of different initiatives. We are also business partners with St Andrew\u2019s Hospice, Albert Bartlett and Heartstart and have yearly planned programmes to strengthen our links. We value the expertise within our community, our semi-rural location and work to capitalize on all that they have to offer in order to benefit our pupils and share our pupils learning.<\/p>\n

Our pupils are actively encouraged to be responsible citizens and to make a positive impact not only to their school and local community but also to society as a whole through their global citizenship.<\/p>\n

At St. Mary\u2019s we pride ourselves on being an active, achieving school that promotes a community of faith and learning. We are committed to promoting parental enrichment that impacts on the attainment and achievement of our pupils.\u00a0 We do this in a number of ways.\u00a0 A structured homework programme enables parents to support pupils learning at home whilst ensuring parents become more knowledgeable about their child\u2019s learning and their next steps.\u00a0 Parents are kept well-informed about their child\u2019s learning and progress through learning journals, learning conversations, 6 weekly cycle of jotters being sent home, meet the teacher event, curricular events and parents evenings. Parents are invited to school twice each year to discuss their child\u2019s progress.\u00a0 Parents may visit the school or arrange an appointment if there is an issue which concerns them or if they wish more information.\u00a0 If a parent has a concern about the pupil the school has a clear policy for dealing with parental complaints and will engage in a dialogue of exchange that is minuted, with agreed actions and timescales set.<\/p>\n
