A partnership with parents The staff and governors of The Croft School are very keen to promote a good working partnership with the parents. It is through co-operation and shared responsibility that we are able to help the children achieve their full potential.The school tries to involve parents in their child's education through various methods.

From the start of a child's life at the school we encourage the parents to find out what their child does during the day. Parents can talk to the reception teacher before or after school, by pre-arrangement.

The school has a homework policy and homework is given on a regular basis. It is expected that children will devote some of their free time to educational purposes. It is hoped that parents will encourage and assist their child to complete any reading or other work which they may have been asked to do.

Parents are encouraged to help with their child's literacy skills. Reading stories to them as often as possible, regularly sharing books, talking to their children about books and listening to their children read.

Parents can also help their child with basic number work, multiplication facts, spelling and handwriting. Staff are willing to discuss these areas and explain to parents what they can do to help.

We are pleased to welcome parents and grandparents who are able to help within the school. These people can do a variety of jobs within the school in many ways, and in doing so they help the children in the school.

There is a very active and supportive Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) which organises various functions and activities throughout the year. The PTFA raises a considerable amount of money, which is used to buy equipment resources and materials for use in the school.

Every parent is automatically a member of the PTFA, and we hope that all new parents will become active members.

The PTFA has as its main aim the educational welfare of the pupils.

We believe that if parents, teachers and governors work together then we will be able to achieve the most for the children in our care.

We aim to promote high standards in all areas of achievement through encouragement and hard work. We also try to help the children to develop respect for each other in a caring and friendly atmosphere

Teacher Contact

If a problem arises, please feel free to come and speak to the class teacher as soon as possible. We operate an 'open door' policy, so please do not hesitate to come into school to discuss any queries or problems, however trivial they seem. If something is upsetting your child, then it is not trivial.
