Ethos & Values

We acknowledge the importance of a positive relationship between home and school in order to provide the very best educational development for all the children in our care. We therefore encourage parents to take an active role in the life of the school and particularly in supporting the educational development of the children.

We appreciate working in partnership with parents as we recognise that parental support is vital in promoting children's achievements. We organise formal Parent-Teacher consultations over the academic year. The first in October has a focus on how well the children have settled into the new year, and the second in February will concentrate on mid-year learning and recent assessments. This should provide clear pointers for parents to help with learning for the remainder of the year.

An annual report for every pupil is given to parents in July and parents may request a meeting to discuss this with the class teacher if required.

We send details to each family at the beginning of the term to inform you what your child will be learning and how you could support them. We also publish our full curriculum here on our website.

Once you are a member of the school community you will be invited to join Class Dojo. An encrypted and private site; this gives you access to images of your child's work, homework information and is an opportunity to communicate directly with your class teacher.

We are pleased to meet with parents at other times as appropriate - parents should contact the school office to make an appointment to meet with their child's class teacher. Teachers are also on the playground at the beginning and the end of every school day and are pleased to meet with parents on an informal basis.

Our school has clear values for the children to live up to. These are shared through assemblies as well as day-to-day in our conversations, learning and policies. Our children understand that these values are important to our community and help to ensure our school remains a vibrant and happy place to learn.
