We want to ensure that parents receive as much information as possible to support with home school links.
We have a clear line of communication allow parents to receive information, allow parents to support their child in their learning and celebrate the opportunities that are happening in school.
We use Class Dojo as a form of ongoing communication with parents to give them a clear understanding of learning happening in school, how to support education at home and events that are happening in school. The teachers will upload weekly timetables, videos and support documents to deepen understanding of learning happening in the classroom. Teachers and parents can communicate via Class Dojo allowing an open line of communication about their child.
We have a weekly newsletter which includes all the information the parents need including what is happening in school, key events and updates. This is e-mailed to all parents and uploaded onto Social Media.
We use Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) to share pictures and celebrate to learning opportunities that are happening in school. This allows parents to see what is happening in school.
Arbor App will be used and developed across this year. We are currently using it to book clubs, parents appointments and for parents to check on attendance.
