I really hope that all parents of children from Year 1-6 have booked a parents evening slot with their child’s class teacher. Sadly, we are seeing a decline in parents attending these critical sessions. Parents attending parents’ evening is crucial, especially in the Autumn Term and attendance brings a wide range of benefits for both the child and the school community.
•Provides a dedicated time for teachers and parents to discuss the child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement.
•Helps build trust and mutual understanding between home and school.
•Parents gain insights into their child’s academic and social development.
•Enables parents to reinforce learning at home and address any challenges early.
•Shows children that their parents value education, which can boost motivation and self-esteem.
•Encourages parents to become more involved in school activities and decision-making.
•Teachers can share concerns about learning difficulties, behaviour, or social interactions.
•Parents and teachers can collaborate on strategies or referrals for additional support.
•A chance to acknowledge and celebrate the child’s progress and accomplishments.
•Positive reinforcement from both parents and teachers can be very encouraging for the child.
•Encourages a sense of partnership between families and the school.
•Helps create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all students.
We always encourage parents to bring their children to these sessions as children see their parents and teachers working together, reinforcing the importance of education and it always boosts their self esteem!
Look forward to seeing you.
