Parent Help

Your child's teacher will always be happy to help with suggestions to help your child and you will be able to discuss your child's next steps and their targets at Parents' Evenings.

We set  homework , and offer tips to help with this.  We hold workshops for parents in maths in each class, each year, as well as other workshops in science, for example.
