Parents

At Scott Primary School, we believe it is essential to establish strong partnerships with parents and carers to enable children to achieve their full potential.

Our school provides a safe, caring, friendly and welcoming environment where every child matters and every child is unique.  We value individuals.  We make learning fun, encouraging originality through delivering a broad and balanced curriculum accessible to all.  This ensures that our children are given the best opportunities to succeed in all they do enabling them to reach their full potential.  Together with our parents and the local community we take pride in our children’s positive attitudes towards their work and each other.  We encourage our children to take responsibility and to be independent; building life skills to enable them to succeed now and in the future.

The school will:

  • Care for your child’s safety and happiness.                   
  • Ensure that your child achieves his/her full potential as a valued member of the school community.
  • Provide a balanced curriculum and meet the individual needs of your child.
  • Achieve high standards of work and behaviour through building good relationships and developing a sense of responsibility.
  • Keep you informed about general school matters and about your child’s progress in particular.
  • Be open and welcoming at all times and offer opportunities for you to become involved in the daily life of the school.

The school would like an effective partnership with parents by valuing your help in the following ways:

  • Coming to school on time both at the beginning and end of the day
  • Getting to know your child’s teacher so that you can share in their achievements and concerns
  • Making an appointment if you need to talk at length about your child
  • Attending Parents Meetings/Curriculum workshops
  • Reading at home daily with your child and taking an interest in homework
  • Reading all letters that your child brings home
  • Keeping us informed of any changes to circumstances which may affect your child in school

Keeping you informed


We make every effort to ensure that parents are well informed about their child’s progress and the work of the school.

Each year parents can expect:

  • A termly letter from your child’s teacher about curriculum topics.
  • Two parents’ evenings (individual meetings with your child’s teacher) in the Autumn and Spring terms to discuss progress and any areas of concern. Appointments can also be arranged at the end of the Summer Term to discuss End of year Reports.
  • An annual written report on your child’s progress. In addition to the annual report for children in Y2 and Y6 parents receive information about their performance in the Standard Assessment Tasks (SATs).
  • A fortnightly newsletter and a regularly updated website.
  • Workshops – throughout the year, we invite parents to take part in activities in a specific area of the curriculum so that they can find out how their child learns at school in order to support them effectively at home.
  • Reminders, updates and letters about specific events.
  • Celebration Events such as special assemblies, Harvest and Christmas presentations, Sports day and picnic, music concerts etc.
  • Information about their child’s learning experiences via Class Dojo.
