Communications

At Parc Eglos, we want the very best for all our children and recognise that this is only possible if we communicate effectively with parents/carers.

School to Parent Communication

In order to ensure methods of communication are clear and effective, all communication will come through the school office via emailed letters/newsletters. Where a message needs to be received quickly, we will send a text message via the Parent Mail app. In order to receive these messages, please download the app (see links below). You will need to register for the app using the same email address as you have listed with the school. If you are unable to download this app, please don’t worry as an SMS message will come out to you, but may take a little longer to arrive.

Parent to School Communication

If you have any concerns regarding your child or the provision which they are receiving here at school, in the first instance please do speak to your child’s class teacher (appointments can be made through the school office – parceglossecretary@croftymat.org , or with the teacher at pick -up times only). Please note that speaking to the class teacher at drop off times will be difficult due to the time constraints of the curriculum, therefore if you feel that a message is urgent please communicate this to the school office and we will ensure that this information will be shared with the class teacher. If you require further assistance   after initial contact, please contact your child’s Phase Leader for further assistance.

We offer teacher-parent consultations twice during the academic year; once in the autumn term and once in the spring term. These meetings are held to discuss your child’s attainment and progress within the curriculum, their behaviour and any concerns you or your child may have. Informal meetings can be arranged aside from these consultations at the parents or teachers wishes. In the summer term, each child receives their end of year report instead of a teacher-parent consultation. The report gives an overview of your child’s academic attainment, progress and effort across the curriculum over the academic year. There is an option to leave feedback about the report and to discuss with your child’s class teacher if needed.

The majority of letters regarding information about the school, events or individual class information are sent via email as we are trying to limit the amount of paper letters we are sending home. Very occasionally, paper letters are still sent home with the children so it is important that you regularly check your child’s book bag.

Letters that require a permission slip or payment (if an event or school trip is taking place) can be completed via ParentPay. Most permission slips can now be accessed and completed on ParentPay at the time of payment by ticking the parental permission box. If any additional information is required, for example, medical or dietary needs, this can also be completed on ParentPay. If you need any support with ParentPay, please contact the school office.

Our weekly newsletter is sent via email every Friday. Our newsletter contains a weekly message from Mrs Sanderson. It will include whole school news including photos of learning, trips or events that have taken place, a celebration of our weekly achievements, news about events within the local community and a list of important diary dates.
