The very large majority answered positively on all questions. There were a few parents/carers who answered ‘don’t know’ or ‘disagree’ for some questions (2 parents). In response, those parents/carers were contacted by our Student Family Liaison Officer (Lyn Younger) and further information and clarification was given around these questions. Parents are reminded where information can be found. We try to communicate information to families in various ways including:
- Parents evening
- Termly Newsletters
- Website
- Annual Review Meetings
- End of year Progress Reports
- Home school books
- Class Dojo
As you will know you can always contact your child’s pastoral staff or contact our Student Family Liaison Officer Lyn Younger if you have any queries or concerns.
The academy has recently set up a parent group (Coffee and Catch Up) to look at how we can further engage and communicate with parents/carers. We will keep you informed on the progress of this.
We have also recently welcomed Emma Straker, as Special Needs Coordinator onto our staff. Emma brings lots of knowledge and experience having previously worked at the Local Authority. If you would like to speak to Emma about any of the areas listed below please contact the Academy on the main number:
- Changes to the SEN laws
- Personal Budgets
- Dealing with other agencies
- Parent participation
- Review meetings
