We are listening

Through the survey and your comments, we have recognised there is improvement to be made with the way we communicate with parents regarding children’s learning and what is going on in school.  To that end we will:

• Introduce class newsletters, issued at the start of term, outlining what children will be learning, any planned trips or dates for the diary.
• Provide a sports newsletter at the beginning of each term.
• Make better use of Facebook and school Ping to share what children have been learning during the week plus highlights from our celebration assembly each week.
• Communicate specifically with parents regarding reading in school, how it works and where further information can be accessed.

 

Finally, please remember you can always contact your child’s teacher or a member of the senior leadership team via the school office if you have anything you wish to discuss.
