Parents

Parental Involvement
Both the staff and children value and appreciate practical help from parents and friends during school sessions. Please tell the Headteacher or class teacher if you can give some of your time.  If you make a regular commitment to the school, you will be required to undergo the CRB police clearance procedure as we all do.  Please contact the School office for more information.

Helpers are currently involved in the following activities:

Craft skills; cooking; covering work cards; mounting pictures; making costumes; listening to children read; playing word, number and sound games; shopping play; changing library books; colour coding books; repairing books and equipment; preparing materials; duplicating and photocopying; supervision on visits; swimming; computers;  golden time activities.

From time to time help is also required on a practical level e.g. building, carpentry, decorating. Volunteer gardeners are especially welcome.  Keep an eye on our newsletter if you would like to be involved.

Keeping Parents Informed
Parents’ Evenings are held each term. They take various forms, but will always include opportunities for parents to discuss their child’s progress with staff. Towards the end of the Summer term a written report is issued for each child with copies being retained by the parents and the school.  We also take every opportunity to welcome you into the school through performances, termly open afternoons and special events.
