Contact with Parents
Contact with Parents
We believe that regular contact with home
is vital to successful education and we are
particularly eager to foster close liaison
from the beginning of a student’s career in
the school.
The whole process depends on
participation, trust and co-operation
between parents, students and teachers.
Every new parent is expected to attend an
individual meeting with form tutors and a
meeting with senior members of the
school.
We want to work with parents to the
advantage of all our students and
encourage all parents to contact us if they
have any concerns about their child.
Reports
Parents are informed of their child’s
progress once a year in a formal School
Report. This contains an assessment by the
subject teachers of the work completed
and suggestions for improvement. To
supplement the Annual Report to parents,
progress slips and student reviews keep
parents informed if we have cause for
celebration or concern.
Parents’ Evenings &
Achievement Days
During each year of the student’s school
career, one meeting between parents and
teachers is set aside for an individual
private discussion about your child’s
progress. All parents are encouraged to
take advantage of this valuable opportunity
to discuss in greater detail the progress of
their child and agree strategies to help
him/her reach the highest possible
standards.
Complaints
In the rare event that parents have a
concern about any aspect of their child’s
education and general welfare,
communication at the earliest possibility is
encouraged to resolve it. Parents are asked
to contact the appropriate Year Curriculum
Co-ordinator, Head of Site, or for more
serious concerns, the Headteacher directly.
Governors, and Parent Governors in
particular, are also available to parents if
they wish to consult them.
