We actively encourage parents and carers to work in partnership with the school and become involved in every aspect of school life. In working with parents and carers we aim to:
- develop a shared understanding of our school aims, values, policies and practices
- encourage parental participation in learning at school and at home
- create a relationship based on shared responsibility and mutual respect

Raising a concern
If you have a concern regarding your child, the following steps will help you to resolve it as quickly as possible.
- Speak to your child’s class teacher. It is advisable to make an appointment with them, as they will be with the children in class at the start and end of the school day. Contact the school office team to do this.
- The class teacher will inform the Phase Leader about your concern.
- Once the meeting has taken place, if the matter is not resolved, it will be passed on to an Assistant Headteacher. They will meet with you to help resolve your concern.
- If you still feel that your concern has not been resolved, a meeting can be arranged via the school office team with the Headteacher at a mutually convenient time.
- If you still feel that your concern has not been resolved, then you may wish to refer to the Complaints Policy that is located on the school website on the Parents Tab under the policies section.

Free School Meals
All children in Reception and Key Stage One (Years 1 and 2) are eligible for a free school meal under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme. If you are in receipt of certain benefits, it is also possible that your child will be eligible for benefit-related Free School Meals.
Children who are eligible under this scheme are entitled to subsidised half price school trips and half price school uniform (ordered once a year). If you think you might be eligible, please click on the link below to apply. It also gives the school extra funding so every successful application generates revenue for the school and increases learning opportunities for our children.
