Parents

Parents are welcome in our school at all times. If time is needed then it is best to make an appointment so that you can have the undivided attention of the class teacher or head teacher.

There are many occasions when parents are invited into school. These include termly consultations and meetings when aspects of school work are discussed. Parents are also invited to concerts, special assembles and services, both at school and St. James' Church.

Parents are a valuable source if help in school. A number of parents volunteer their time to hear children read, organise resources and offer assistance in classrooms. We value this partnership very highly indeed. Furthermore, there is an active P.T.F.A. which organises events to raise much needed funds for the school.

Parent / Teacher Consultations

There are three such occasions each year; one in October, the second in February/ March and the third in July after annual written reports have been sent home. Parents may, of course, seek to discuss their child's work at other times and provided an appointment is made, staff are happy to do this. If staff are concerned, they may similarly wish to make an appointment to see the parent/s. We believe that by working co-operatively, parents and teachers can best support and encourage the child/ children in both their academic and social attainments. We believe our open policy towards parents is the most beneficial in terms of child development.
