Parent Partnership

By working in partnership with parents, we offer every student a secure, fulfilling and challenging environment that supports achievement across all areas, and provides the basis for successful adult life.
As part of our commitment to inclusive education, we believe it is vital to foster close links between home and school. Some of the ways in which we do this are:

• Regular contact between school and parents in the areas of:
• SEN
• Learning and Mentoring
• Attendance and Punctuality
• Uniform
• In the autumn term there is an Open Evening where parents have the chance to visit the school and see the work and activities that are on offer.
• The parents of all new intake Year 7 students are invited to an evening in school in July. At this meeting they are able to meet staff and are asked to sign our Home-School Agreement.
• A transition course for new parents is run in the Autumn Term  for any parents of Year 7 students wanting to familiarise themselves with the working of the school.
• The school newsletter is published regularly, informing parents of important issues, meetings and forthcoming events.

Academic progress is tracked each term and the annual school report and Parents' Evenings are used to allow parents, students and staff to review progress and set academic targets.  Student planners also provide an important means of communication about learning between school and home.
