FRIENDS OF CASTLETHORPE SCHOOL, F.O.C.S.

Partnership With Parents

Castlethorpe School encourages a close partnership with parents as being important in the children's' development. Parents are very welcome in school. We appreciate the help given by parents working alongside teachers in the classroom and on occasions when we go out of school. These include our weekly visits to the village hall for P.E., to swimming, on walks and on occasional special visits.

Parents are most welcome to come in after school to see their child's work, talk about progress or to raise any concerns. Parents who are unable to come into school are similarly very welcome to contact the school by telephone and speak to the class teacher. If parents have a particular concern it would be a good idea to arrange an appointment for a convenient time to talk.

Parent Consultation Evenings

Parent Consultation Evenings are arranged in the Autumn and Spring terms to give an opportunity to discuss childrens' progress and future development. An Open Evening is held in the Summer term for parents to view children's work on display and discuss their child's annual report

Information Evenings for parents

Throughout the year we hold information evenings for parents on different aspects of school life. Some evenings focus on specific year groups within the school. Others target particular subject areas.

Curriculum plans for each class are sent home by letter.

Home School Agreement

At Castlethorpe School we have a Home – School agreement which provides a framework for partnership between home and school. This is an agreement entered into by the school, parents and the child.
