Newsletters
A school newsletter will be sent home at least twice every half
term via the eldest child in each family. These are numbered and
a few spare copies are generally available from the office. Parents’
Association letters and individual class letters will be sent home
periodically in the same way by pupil post.

Consultations
with staff
We encourage parents to become involved in the development of their
child’s education and staff are always ready to advise parents
about the progress of their children. It is preferable, however,
that parents make an appointment to meet teachers if they need to
see them, and appointment times are usually set for the end of a
school day.
|
 |
Open
evenings
Consultations are held in the Autumn and Spring Terms when the general
progress of children is discussed. Time is limited at these meetings
and parents are requested to make an additional appointment if they
anticipate that discussion of a problem may prove lengthy.
|
 |
Information
evenings
Various meetings during the year may well be arranged to keep parents
informed and updated. These meetings address such issues as general
assessment, 11+ procedure, school journey, sex education, special
needs, drugs education etc.
Parents are encouraged to attend these meetings as it is impossible
for staff to provide time to update parents individually.

 |
Walkabout
The school holds a “Walkabout Afternoon” in the Summer
Term, when children’s work is displayed. Parents and visitors
are welcome to attend.
|
 |
Reports
Written reports are made yearly and are available for parents at the
end of the summer term.
|
 |
School information
A range of information is available to you. Certain documents that
relate to the workings of the school are kept in the school library
and made available for parents to view.
|
 |
Transfer
documents
Each child has a Transfer Document. It is a compilation of work, records
and reports collected together to give the best possible “picture”
of the child’s performance. Also included are the Foundation
Stage profiles made during the Reception year, the SATs results and
other achievements and records. This documentation is used internally
and as a main set of records for successful transfer to other schools.

Queries regarding your child’s progress
Any questions directly relating to a child’s educational progress
should be addressed to the Class Teacher concerned or to the Headteacher.
|
|
Complaints procedure
It is important to try and settle the complaint quickly as your
child’s progress and welfare is paramount. The first step
is to make an appointment with the Class Teacher to discuss the
matter rationally and calmly. If you still have concerns, please
arrange to meet with the Headteacher. For concerns that have still
not been resolved, you should write to the Chair of Governors or
the Area Education Manager.
