Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to the parent-teacher meetings in the last week of the half-term. It was great to see you all there, keen to find out how your child is doing in school and how you can continue to support at home.
Thanks also to the governors who were around, collecting your views. Here are some of the views they noted:
-
Parents who have been linked with the school for a long time are delighted to see a continuing upward trend in everything that is happening. The recent Ofsted report has been a huge bonus.
-
Parents new to the school are very happy with the education their child is receiving.
-
Every parent expressed their appreciation for the work of the relevant class teacher.
-
Children new to the school, whether at Reception or joining higher up, have settled quickly and feel at home.
-
The school works hard to meet the needs of individual children. Sensitive children and those lacking self-confidence are supported extremely well.
-
The church school aspect is appreciated by parents. For some it is very important and a reason for choosing the school. For others they appreciate the children being given the knowledge and skills to be able to make up their own minds in the future about religion.
Governors noticed a higher proportion of dads attending the parent-teacher meetings, and suggested some sort of workshop for dads in particular who want to support their child. We’ll see what we can do about this – and if you’ve any ideas, do let us know!
Thanks again.
