Parental Involvement

How parent / carers are involved in school life 

We warmly welcome parents / carers into school for:

• A range of regular meetings, eg Pupil Support Plan (PSP) reviews, Team Around the Child (TAC) meetings, Annual Reviews, Parent/teacher consultations. 
• Parental Involvement week 
• Coffee mornings 
• Informal drop-ins to share information 

We communicate with parents / carers through: 

• Daily communication books where appropriate 
• Telephone calls 
• Letters 
• School text messaging service 
• Whole school meetings 

We communicate with families whose first language is not English by:

• Having interpreters at meetings- both individual and group. 
• Using the skills of staff speaking other community languages to phone and write to families. 
• Requesting translated materials if appropriate 

We seek parents’ / carers' views:

• In meetings 
• Through parental questionnaires 
• We welcome parents’ phone calls or visits 

We have four parent governors who sit on the school governing body.
