The 'learning triangle'

When parents and teachers work well together it provides a solid base for the child to flourish. Each class has its own Parent Class Contact(s) that actively supports the teacher and the life of the class and liaises between the teacher and parents on organisational matters.

There are Parents' Evenings, study groups, discussion forums, a community choir and many cultural and fund-raising events.

Parents are encouraged to give active support to the quality of the education by helping children enjoy imaginative and creative activities at home rather than, for example, watching television or playing computer games which have been shown by research to undermine children's learning and development, especially for young children.
