Partnership with Parents

At Bolton Parish we believe a strong school-family relationship can greatly benefit the child as well as
parents. It is proven that children do better and achieve more when parents are involved in their pro-
gress in school. Concerns can also be sorted out more quickly and successfully when parents and car-
ers feel confident in approaching school with their concerns. Parents also get reassurance that their
children are receiving a good education as trust and respect develops with the relationship with the
school. In an attempt to strengthen the links with home, school will be offering an increased range of

opportunities for parents to engage in their children’s learning.

These will include:
• Half termly update mornings. These will take place the first week of each half term (except for

Autumn 1 when they will be the second week). These will be at 8:50am and be an opportunity for
teachers to share information relating to that term: topics, books being read, ways parents can help
in the home etc. These should take no more than 30 minutes.

• Half termly parent workshops. These will take place each half
term starting at 8:50am, they should last at least 30 minutes but no
longer than 1 hour.

Parents’ Meetings

At the start of each academic year all parents are invited to attend a ‘Meet the Teacher’ event. This
gives teachers the opportunity to share with parents the learning journey which lies ahead for the
children. Parental conferencing meetings are held twice a year for each year group, whereby staff
have the opportunity to discuss individual children’s progress in greater detail with parents.
