Parent Partnership/Home Learning
We are hoping to involve parents more in their child’s learning as parental involvement in a child’s education from an early age has a positive effect on education achievement. By working closely with us to build positive relationships, we can provide opportunities for you to be fully involved in your child’s care and education. We are introducing a home learning sheet which shares your child’s next steps and will give you ideas on how to extend this at home.
We will also be putting up on our home learning board termly ideas for you to do at home. Please check our home learning board’s for ideas.
Please can we remind parents that if you have any changes to your personal detail to inform a member of staff.
Please can you provide your child with suitable clothing as the weather is beginning to change and also spare clothes would be helpful. Please could you write your child’s name in clothes as this would help.
