At Greenbank Primary, parental engagement is extremely important to us. We pride ourselves on how hard we work to ensure that we have a close and positive relationship with our parents and carers. We truly are a community school in every way possible. We strive to invite our children’s adults into our school as much as possible, with the ultimate aim being to foster good relationships and ultimately improve our children’s chances of academic and emotional success. Below are some of the ways we endeavour to do this:

Meet the Teacher

In September, we always have ‘meet the teacher’ sessions. These are when our parents and carers are invited in to school to meet their child’s new teacher and find out about their child’s upcoming year.

Stay and Play sessions

Our EYFS parents and carers are able to enjoy stay and play sessions throughout the year. These are sessions where the parents/carers are able to come into their child’s classroom.

Parents Evenings

Our parents and carers are invited into school for two parents evenings a year, where they speak 1:1 with their child’s class teacher all about the progress that their child is making. In summer term, parents receive an end of year report.

Coffee Mornings

Parents and carers are invited into school to share suggestions and feedback on how we are doing as a school. It is also a wonderful chance to get to know other parents and carers of children in our school and build meaningful relationships.

PTFA

Our PTFA (Parents, Teachers and Friends Association) is an opportunity to meet new friends and help plan exciting fundraising activities and events in our school.

Class Productions

Throughout the year, each class has a dedicated date for their class assembly. Parents and carers are invited to watch their child perform.
