Communicating With Parents

 

Children, parents and the staff of St Mary’s work in partnership with each other. There are many opportunities, formal and informal for sharing information and exchanging views. Teachers are always willing to make individual appointments to talk to parents; please contact the school office to make an arrangement.

 

• In the Autumn Term all parents are welcomed to a 'Meet the Teacher' meeting to discuss class routines and expectations for the school year.
• Later in the term parents are invited to meet their child’s teacher to discuss progress and share information.
• In the Spring Term all parents are invited to discuss their child’s progress.
• In the Summer Term all parents receive their child’s Annual Report and this is followed by a 'drop in' opportunity to meet with the class teacher and discuss the report, if needed.

• Newsletters are written regularly to the whole school and to classes for particular events.
