Things to note
At the start of the year an informal ‘Pop in to meet the teacher’ session is arranged after school. Formal open times are arranged each term: in the second half of the Autumn term for ‘first impressions’, towards the middle of the Spring term for a review of progress, and at the end of the Summer term for a look at the year’s work. In addition to these pre-arranged opportunities to come into school, parents are encouraged to get involved in life at the school in any way they can.
There are many areas of life in school where the help of parents is vital. They never refuse an offer, either for regular help or just on an occasional basis. Help can cover such things as activities involving Library and Resources, Art and Craft, Drama and Cooking and particularly language, reading and comprehension work. We are extra keen to get Dads involved, as well as parents from the many different cultural backgrounds which make up our school. Grandparents are also very welcome.
