Dear Parents/Carers,
We really do value the support we have from parents. It is absolutely key that we have open and honest communication and trust between home and school.
Thankfully, the vast majority of our parents use our communication systems brilliantly.
As a reminder, we have a number of ways you can be in touch:
- year group email addresses to contact the teachers directly
- home school communication books which are looked at every single day by school staff
- a high number of staff on duty at the beginning and end of each day
- our school office open from 7.30am until 4:30pm each day
- teachers/teaching assistants on the door at key times.
In addition to the above we communicate as much information as we can through our website and Facebook. Facebook is particularly useful when it comes to informing parents about eg timings for collection from school trips.
We have had a couple of isolated incidents recently where we feel parents have used social media to air concerns publicly without contacting us directly first. We hope that all parents feel comfortable in approaching us about anything.
We always listen and where possible will take action, always with the children at the centre of all decision making. We feel very much like we are a team which includes children and parents on the same side.
As ever, thank you for your ongoing support.
Miss Cook
