Communicating with Parents

Positive Parental Engagement Home School Books / Planners

Communicating well with parents and careers is essential.

For specialist SEN schools, parental engagement is a key priority, as each pupil has their own specific needs. 

Home/School Communication

In our school we aim to have clear and effective communications with all parents/carers and with the wider community. Effective communications enable us to share our aims and values, through keeping parents well informed about school life. This reinforces the important role that parents play in supporting the school.

Good communication between the school and the home is essential, and pupils achieve more when schools and parents/carers work together.
