Parent Partnership
At Marlborough School we believe it is important to:
● Work in partnership with parents to support their child’s learning
● Create a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for students, staff and parents
● Model appropriate behaviour for our students at all times
Home School Contact Books
Home-School contact books that provide parents with information on a day to day or weekly basis depending on the needs of the student. If a parent/carer feels that a written form of communication doesn’t suit them then alternative means can be arranged. Staff regularly communicate via the telephone at appropriate times. Some students will also benefit from using a big mac to share news between home and school.
Annual Reviews
Annual Reviews are held once a year to review children’s learning and progress. Class teachers will provide a report of the progress your child has made in all areas of their learning. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in this process, ensuring their views are heard, particularly their likes and dislikes and they are given the opportunity to demonstrate their achievements. Targets are set in partnership with parents for new areas of learning and achievement.
Parents' Evenings
Parents' evenings are held every term. Parents' evenings are an opportunity for you to talk to your child’s class teacher about their learning and overall progress.
Newsletters and Letters
Newsletters are sent out to parents once a month and are also uploaded on the school website. These provide a lot of information about recent event and activities that students have participated in and are a lovely way to showcase the amazing work of our students.
We will send formal letters and notifications through text and ParentMail.
End of Term Reports
We will send paper copies of pupils termly PLP reports home with pupils in the last few weeks of term.
Telephone Communication
Parents/carers are able to telephone school between 8.30-9.30am as this is when school Reception is open. Teachers may be available to speak to parents and carers before and after school. If the time is not convenient please speak to a member of the admin team which will arrange for the class teacher to make contact when they have availability.
