Educational Resources
We promote parent/carer involvement in your children’s education. We believe it is important to encourage your child to share with you their learning at home and to take some time to support the work they are doing in school through activities such as regularly reading together.
Parents’ Evenings will be held twice a year, but members of staff are usually available to talk to parents after school. Along with Government guidelines you will be given the Home School Agreement which we hope you will support and sign.
