PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AT BEAUCLERC

 

We are very keen to involve you in the life of the school and your own child’s education, as we believe the Home/School Partnership is very important.

At home you are ideally placed to stimulate thought and interest, engage in conversation and storytelling and give time and individual attention to your child.

Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in the life of the school in many different ways: 

  • By upholding the values of the school, working closely with teachers and trusting their professional judgements.
  • By encouraging and supporting regular attendance.
  • By supporting the Home/School Partnership and encouraging your child to do so.
  • By being open and honest with the school.
  • By attending parent/teacher consultations and other meetings where appropriate.
  • By supporting the PTA events.
  • By helping in the school.

The school holds Parents Evenings each term, but parents are encouraged to talk informally to teachers at the end of the school day. Meet-The-Teacher afternoons are arranged for Years R, 1 and 2 in the first half of the Autumn term. 

 Weekly newsletters and correspondence keep parents informed of events, dates, initiatives and of each term’s curriculum, topics and learning.  Class Parent Representatives keep parents informed of class events and news.   

At the end of each summer term, parents receive a full report summarising their child’s achievements during the year.
