Parents

 

Ofsted have opened a website for parents to give their views on their child's school. We would encourage all parents to register their views. If there is anything in particular you are concerned about please make an appointment at the school office to see Mrs Shah.

To do our best for the children we need the support and interest of parents in the education we provide. We believe children are happier and learn better when there is good
communication between home and school. This works best when the links between the two are strong. 

Parent consultations: These are held in Autumn and Spring Terms and are a chance for  parents and teacher to discuss the progress of their child. There is a 10 minute appointment slot per child.

Written reports: You will receive an end of year report as well as opportunities to speak with your child’s class teacher for termly updates. The curriculum that your child will be following can be found under the Curriculum tab on this site.

Contact with Headteacher: Newsletters are sent out by the Head teacher as well as a termly calendar. The Headteacher is often out on the playground to welcome families in the morning.  This is a good opportunity for informal chats, but she also has an open door policy so if she is available she will be happy to see you in the office or an appointment can be made for  a mutually convenient time.  

Assemblies/workshops/curriculum days: Throughout the year we hold events where we invite parents to come and work alongside their child in school, as well as special celebration Key Stage assembles and school productions.   

School Times: Breakfast Club: From 8am, Nursery: 8.45 -11.45 am and 12.15 - 3.15pm (Lunch Club:11.45.12.15). Reception, Key Stage 1 & 2 starts 8.50am and finishes 3.20 pm

Absence from School: If your child cannot attend school you need to telephone the school office on each day of absence to let the school know why the child cannot attend and when he/she is expected to return.

Late to School: You will need to bring your child to the main office and sign them into school.  If you know you are going to be late you will need to telephone the school by 9.10am to let us know what your child is having for their lunch.    

Money Matters: All money sent into school must be in a sealed envelope or bank bag and must have written on it the child's full name and what the money is for.  Dinner money and club money must be paid in advance. 

Free School Meals: If you are on income support you may be entitled to assistance.  You will need to apply to Children's Schools and Families online at www.hertsdirect.org  or phone 01438 737370.

 British Values

In accordance with the Department for Education we aim to actively promote British values in schools to ensure young people leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.  Pupils are encouraged to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect and tolerance and understand that while different people may hold different views about what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, all people living in England are subject to its law. 

 

The Key Values are:

 

  • democracy
  • rule of law
  • individual liberty
  • mutual respect
  • tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
