Parent & School

The education and well-being of your child is a partnership between you and the school.  If you have any worries, please telephone, or make an appointment to come and see us.  Class teachers are usually available at the beginning and end of the school day for parental contact.  The headteacher is regularly available to discuss any problems.

• Parents of prospective students are invited to visit the school
• Visits are arranged for children prior to starting school
• Meetings are held between staff and parents and any relevant information is recorded in the child’s file
• Parents are invited to help in the classrooms under the guidance and supervision of the class teacher
• Home reading is encouraged.  The sharing of books at home helps children to enjoy and value reading
• Parents are encouraged to visit the School to discuss their child’s progress and are requested to attend three open evenings per year, when samples of children’s work may also be seen.
• Written reports are produced for parents at the end of each academic year.  An interim report is presented in January.
• If parents feel any concern about their child, we hope that they will inform either the class teacher or the Headteacher.  The school will inform parents if we feel any concern about a child’s progress or behaviour.
• Homework will be given in accordance with the National Curriculum, if and when required according to the School Homework Policy.
• The School has a Parent Teacher Association in conjunction with Bodnant Junior School.  The aim of the PTA is to encourage co-operation between staff and parents.  Several social and fund raising event are held each year.
