Supporting Children

The children are at the centre of all we do. We recognise and celebrate the value of childhood. Children thrive with clear boundaries, firm direction, adults and peers who share in the joy of discovery and value the part that all individuals have to play in our community.

Although every child has a class teacher who is responsible for their well-being, all staff contribute to the pastoral care of each child. Pastoral care does not exist in a vacuum. It is not simply an "additional extra." It is interwoven with academic success and each child's sense of self worth.

 

Supporting Parents

Good communication between home and School is essential in supporting your child’s social, emotional and academic progress.  In addition to formal written reports and parent consultations, our teachers are available to talk to parents before morning registration and always respond swiftly to telephone calls or emails.

There are regular mailings to parents to keep them up to date with School information and our School calendar is issued each term and is also on our website. 

 

We issue written reports twice each year, once at Christmas and once at the end of the academic year and formal Parent Consultation Meetings are held every term.
