"Parents in the Classroom"

We will be publishing the dates for our "Parents in the Classroom" programme shortly.

This will now be re-named as "Bring a Parent to School".

We will now be offering this opportunity to all year groups in the school year.  The schedule is as follows:
Autumn term - Years 2, 4, 5 and 6
Spring term - Reception, years 1 and 3


Aims
to help parents understand how children learn
to help parents understand how teachers teach
to improve children’s standards
to help parents understand ways of supporting children more effectively at home
to improve communication between home and school

Details of the Programme
One parent for each child will come to observe one lesson in the classroom and work next to their child
You will sit next to your child, observe how he/she learns, the things he/she is good at and also the things he/she needs to improve on
You will be able to observe the teaching strategies your child’s class teacher uses to support your child in class
We will encourage you to support your child in their learning tasks in the lesson
We normally only have up to 4 parents in any one lesson at a time
A DBS check on parents is not necessary
Confidentiality is really important.  Parents must agree not to discuss what they see or hear in the classroom with others outside.  A breach of this confidentiality will result in the closure of the programme.

More details will follow shortly as soon as the start dates have been confirmed with each year group.
