At Girvan Primary School we are committed to strengthening the link between home and school. This session we have a Parents Open Hours which offers an informal opportunity to come in to school and see what is happening. We have two formal parents evenings each session, one in the Autumn term and one in the spring term, during which you will be offered a time to meet with the class teacher to discuss your child’s progress. During the course of the year parents are invited into class to take part in learning opportunities and to join their child for their class assembly. Further opportunities include accompanying your child on excursions, Book bug in infant classes and to after-school activities such as Homework Club and learning for sustainability. Parents are encouraged to speak to a member of our Senior Leadership Team, who are available in the playground each morning, to raise any issues regarding school.
We aim to improve the information you receive about the curriculum and the progress your child is making in order to promote learning at home. You will receive this information in a number of ways:
- Through curriculum events organised by the class or the school.
- During Parent appointments.
- By receiving information about your child’s own learning plan and targets.
- By receiving a written report each year on progress and attainment.
We recognise that developing an effective home/school partnership is crucial. You can become involved in the life of the school in a number of ways:
- By supporting your child’s learning at home.
- By visiting the school and attending events.
- By accompanying classes on trips and outings.
- By volunteering to help in classes within the school.
