How will I be involved in discussions about and planning for my child’s education?

We believe that good communication between home and school is essential for us to work effectively together to support every child. We aim to maintain regular and timely communication with parents. If your child is identified as not making progress, or if staff have a particular concern, the school will set up a meeting to discuss this with you in more detail and to:

listen to any concerns you may have
plan any additional support your child may need
discuss with you any referrals to outside professionals to support your child's learning

We liaise with a wide range of professionals (educational psychologists, speech therapists, school nurses, family support workers, parent partnership) and will help with explanation of professional reports to parents where it is helpful. Where possible, we will arrange for you to meet directly with external professionals who are involved in your child’s learning at school.
