The relationship developed between school and home is a vital ingredient in the success your child achieves in school.

At JESS this relationship is nurtured in various ways and includes the following:

• Parent/teacher interviews to discuss the progress your child is making and identify next steps in learning.
• Written curriculum summaries which give an overview of the curriculum for the year ahead.
• Curriculum workshops about how the curriculum is delivered and methods used.
• Parents invited to participate in special theme days, often working alongside the children.
• Opportunities to see the skills the children are developing across the curriculum – assemblies, sports days etc.
• Regular sharing of learning objectives on a fortnightly basis.
• Provision of a full written report at the end of the year, plus an interim mid year report.
• Maintaining an ‘open door’ policy for any queries or concerns a parent may have.
• Welcoming parents into school to help in class and on various outings and activities.
• A website providing general school information plus feedback on current events.
• Curriculum support documents e.g. calculations policy, handwriting guidelines etc.
• Parents welcomed into school as ‘helpers’ in a broad range of activities.
