"Bring a Parent to school" - Year One classes

We are happy to offer all parents and carers of children in the Year One classes the opportunity to take part in our highly popular “Parents in the Classroom” programme.  You may well have taken part in this over the past year when your child was in a different year group.  This year group are holding all of their sessions in the spring term only.

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

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.

You will need to see your child’s class teacher, as soon as possible, to make an appointment for your visit.

When you attend, please remember to turn off your mobile phone.  Obviously, we are unable to accommodate any younger siblings when you come.  It is a goal to make appointments with all parents to take part.  This will really support your understanding of your child’s learning needs and will be useful for you to help them make further progress.

When attending a “Parents in the classroom” session you are agreeing to:
Support your child with his/her homework
Not discuss the other children with anyone outside of school
