How we communicate
these values and vision
Communication between staff, Governors, the
LEA and outside professionals occurs though regular meetings both
formally and informally.
Newsletters, entrance area posters and
notices, termly reviews, reports and email are used to formally
communicate with parents, as well as the effective informal daily
contact.
Parents can also communicate their needs to
staff on this daily basis, or, if they prefer, formally via email,
letter, as part of the termly review comment section or in response
to questionnaires.
Children receive daily feedback and are also
given the opportunity to be included in the decision-making
process. We value the views of our children.
The Home-School Agreement outlines the
"promise” that each party signing the contract is expected to
keep.
We share our successes and constantly strive
to improve on our achievements.
