We understand the vital role parents and carers play in the success of our pupil’s achievements which is why we ensure that we remain as approachable and available as we can.  Our school has an ‘open door’ policy which means the views of parents are welcome at any time.

Mrs Banks, our SENCO, is a full time member of staff.  She has a teaching commitment so isn’t always available immediately however she is eager to establish effective relationships with all parents of pupils with any additional need and strives to offer an approachable point of contact.

We aim to ensure that parents are regularly involved in the education of their child through different means, including;

• regular contact with the SENCO and relevant school staff
• target setting so that parents are aware of what their child is working towards
• parental views at individual target plan reviews
• home/school communication books (where appropriate)
• regular curriculum information provided through weekly newsletters & website
• home reading records
• information provided on school website
• parent evening consultations
• parent workshops on a range of subjects e.g. reading, phonics
• signposting to support and activities outside of school

We hold regular parent coffee mornings (also known as tea and chat) to which all parents are most welcome. These have a SEND focus and we like to invite professionals working with your child along to explain their role and share valuable advice.
