Our Parent Information Directory contains everything our parents need to know for their child's year at school, in one place! Covers all school years too!
It's a fantastic, school and family-friendly way, to collate everything and present it an easily understood way for parents. Its always a good idea to look afresh at what you want your parents to know and understand, and the process of developing this Directory has done that.
We also have a 'Parent Handbook: taking you step-by-step through starting school', which is our parent transition tool. There is a great deal more to tell parents though, but if you placed it all in the transition document it would be much larger, making it difficult for parents to read it all and understand it all. You need to present different levels of information at more suitable, and scheduled times. And our Parent Information Directory does just that! We use our Parent Handbook to transition parents in to our school, and the Directory to help guide them through the school yearGary Smith

An ideal parent tool that helps them navigate through the year at school, and understand how the school works. Such a brilliant idea!" "Teachers and staff can also use it as an information guide when talking with parents. It also answers many of the questions we usually get asked, so will answer parents very real questions and concerns.
