Partnership with Parents and the Community
At Almond Hill, we seek to work in partnership with you to ensure you are well-informed about all aspects of the school and your child’s learning and progress. Almond Hill has a Home School Agreement which outlines what the school expects to provide for each pupil, what parents will try to do to support their child and the school, and what pupils will try to do to support their own learning. We believe the agreement unites school, parents and children.
To keep you well-informed about your child's learning we:
- Invite you to a formal parent teacher interview twice each year. This may be offered remotely.
- Provide you with an annual written report in the summer term.
- Invite you to view your child’s work at any time after school.
- Invite you to open events to see your child’s classroom and work.
- Provide a year group e-mail so you can contact class teachers directly.
- Invite you to contribute to school self-evaluation.
- Invite parents of children with special educational needs to review meetings every term.
- Invite you to parent forums and to workshops that explain aspects of school policy and developments.
- Publish information about what your child has been learning through our Medium Term Plans under the learning section of our website.
- Publish a weekly newsletter to inform you of school events and diary dates.
- Welcome parental help which is highly valued encouraging volunteers to support a range of activities in the classroom (subject to safeguarding checks).
- Publish a wide range of information on our school website.
