Partnership between the home and school  

We pride ourselves on our excellent relationship and partnership with parents and carers. Parents and carers are always welcome to discuss any matter affecting their child’s welfare or progress. We operate an Open-Door Policy where parents are welcome to speak to members of staff when needed.  

How will I know how my child is learning and making progress?

Reporting

There are three formal ways of reporting. There are two Parents’ and Carers' consultation evenings and a written report. The first consultation evening is in the Autumn Term, this is an opportunity to discuss how your child has settled into their new year group, their progress, attainment and attendance. The second is in the Spring Term, when you will have the opportunity to view a sample of their work, as well as being informed about their progress, attainment and attendance. You will receive a written report at the end of the school year. In the Summer Term, parents and carers have the opportunity to come in to discuss their child's report should they need to. 

If we have any concerns during the year, we will contact you by phone or in writing to ask you to come in to  discuss the matter. 

Parental Workshops

 

Home School Agreement

 

A Home School Agreement is a statement explaining your child's school's aims, values, policies and procedures. It also highlights its responsibilities towards its pupils, the responsibilities of the pupil's parents/carers and what is expected of pupils.

At Wolsey House Primary School, we recognise each child as an individual and aim to give all children every opportunity to realise their full potential. We believe that a close partnership between the school, parents/carers and the child, is essential if we are to achieve this aim.

It is therefore an expectation that all parents/carers who wish their children to attend Wolsey House Primary School will sign up to our Home School Agreement.

We also ask parents/carers to ensure they share the Home School Agreement with their child and we will also discuss this in school.

Parent Code of Conduct Policy

Introduction

We are very fortunate to have a supportive and friendly parent body. Our parents recognise that educating children is a process that involves partnership between parents, class teachers and the school community. As a partnership, our parents/carers will understand the importance of a good working relationship to equip children with the necessary skills for adulthood. For these reasons we continue to welcome and encourage parents/carers to participate fully in the life of our school.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this policy is to provide a reminder to all parents, carers and visitors to our school about the expected conduct. This is so we can continue to flourish, progress and achieve in an atmosphere of mutual understanding.

Guidance

We expect parents, carers and visitors to:

• Respect the caring ethos and values of our school
• Understand that both teachers and parents need to work together for the benefit of their children.
• Demonstrate that all members of the school community should be treated with respect and therefore set a good example in their own speech and behaviour.
• Seek to clarify a child’s version of events with the school’s view in order to bring about a peaceful solution to any issue.
• Correct own child’s behaviour especially in public where it could otherwise lead to conflict, aggressive behaviour or unsafe behaviour.
• Approach the school to help resolve any issues of concern.
• Avoid using staff as threats to admonish children’s behaviour.
