At Chase Side we understand that the education of all children begins at home and that parents have an ongoing role in the education of their children.
Our School is currently working towards the Leading Parent Partnerhip Award (LPPA) and our Parental Partnerhsip Co-ordinator (Mrs Worthy) is currently gathering evidence of all the work that we do in this key area
We firmly believe that home and school should work in close partnership in order for children to achieve their full potential and the school is continually looking for ways to build on our partnership with parents.
We encourage parents to work with the school in a variety of ways. We are always looking for parents to help during the school day. Parents read with children, help with practical activities such as cooking, or craftwork, or act as escorts for children going swimming or on educational visits. If you have some time to spare to help in school please give your name to the office staff.
All helpers in school must be thoroughly police checked.
| | | | We hold a number of events throughout the school year to improve communication between the school and home. At the beginning of the school year we hold ‘Meet the Teacher’ coffee mornings which give parents the opportunity to meet their child’s class teacher in an informal setting. We have many assemblies and events to which parents are invited. We hold curriculum information meetings and open days when parents can see the school at work.
In the Autumn,Spring and Summer Terms, we invite parents into school to meet with teachers to discuss their child’s progress and set targets. In the Summer Term we hold an open evening where parents can visit the school and look in all of the classrooms.
Weekly Newsletters are sent to parents/carers. They provide information of forthcoming events and dates. Class teachers also send information to parents about the work in class for the term. This gives parents ideas of how to support their children’s work. Please keep newsletters in a safe place for future reference.
We also run a number of parent classes to help you improve your skills in order to support your children. These include: Basic ICT, Maths for parents, Family Learning and English for Speakers of other languages.
We have a Parent Support Worker who can come into school to talk to parents individually or in groups about specific or general aspects of parenting.
Please read the parent chalkboards for reminders etc. If you do not collect your child from school please ask somebody to let you know what is happening.
Class teachers are available in the playground at the end of each school day if you have a query or a message to pass on. You can also arrange a meeting with class teachers by seeing them on the playground or contacting the school office.
| If you would like to meet with a senior member of staff or the headteacher please contact the school office to make an appointment.
Every year parents receive a written report on their child’s progress. This will detail achievements and progress and will also identify future targets. You are invited to comment in writing on the report and a copy of the report and parental comments is kept in the child’s records.
Our school has a policy of consultations with stakeholders. We send home questionnaires regarding the work of the school and we welcome your comments, questions and suggestions.
