Parental partnership is vital to our school community.
We know that when parents and school work together, children achieve better outcomes academically and socially, and behaviour across the school is stronger. Recently, however, we have seen a decline in the level of support we are receiving from some families.
We are particularly concerned about situations where children are being encouraged to respond physically if they are hurt, rather than seeking help from a trusted adult in school. We want to reassure families that our staff are always here to listen, support, and resolve issues safely. Always encourage your children to follow the Golden Rules.
We have also noticed that some pupils are not being supported with reading or maths at home, often because it can feel challenging or lead to disagreements. While we understand these difficulties, regular encouragement and practice at home make a significant difference to children’s confidence, progress, and future opportunities.
We kindly ask all parents and carers to continue to work in partnership with us by promoting positive behaviour, encouraging children to talk to adults when problems arise, and supporting learning at home wherever possible - we all need to have high aspirations for our children. Together, we can ensure every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to achieve their very best.
