It is important that your child feels confident about coming to school. The school would like an effective partnership with parents by valuing your help in the following ways:

  • Coming to school on time both at the beginning and end of the day
  • Getting to know your child’s teacher so that you can share in their achievements and concerns
  • Making an appointment if you need to talk at length about your child
  • Attending all Parents Meetings/Curriculum workshops
  • Reading at home daily with your child and taking an interest in homework
  • Reading all letters that your child brings home
  • Keeping us informed of any changes to circumstances which may affect your child in school

Our experience and research shows that effective partnership with parents is reflected in a more successful performance by children at school. We do make mistakes and there are misunderstandings but these can be reduced to a minimum if we keep in close contact and work together to put things right.

Parent Volunteers

We find tremendous value in Parent Volunteers helping in school however short a period of time. Help is needed to work alongside teachers in the following ways:

  • To share books with children
  • To play maths and language games
  • To work in the library
  • To work at the Book Fair (twice a year)
  • To accompany children to the pool and with swimming
  • To work with groups of children for sewing, cooking and crafts
  • To accompany classes on visits
  • To work with children outside in the conservation area or garden

Please let the office or class teachers know if you can help out with any of these activities.
