Parents as partners
We appreciate that sending your child to Nursery or school is a big step and that it is understandable that some parents may worry or feel anxious about their child's well-being and happiness. That is why we invite you and your child to visit before she joins us. Once she has joined us, you are always welcome to visit the school. Your child's teacher is responsible for your child's pastoral care and, with our small classes, gets to know every individual child extremely well. You will see the teacher when you drop off and collect your child, and many worries can be speedily resolved by an informal chat. Otherwise, you are welcome to make an appointment for a longer (or more private) conversation with her, or with Mrs Settle. Any concerns will always be treated in complete confidence.
We have a weekly newsletter for parents, which is full of news about activities, outings and termly dates for your diary. We also encourage children to take home their art work for you to admire and display at home! We send invitations to parents to a number of events during the year, and very much hope to see you at:
- The Nativity Play
- The Carol Service
- Sports Afternoon
- Reception class assembly
The term before your daughter starts Reception class we hold a meeting to which all parents in the year group are invited, at which we outline plans for the year ahead.
