Staying Informed
Students are assessed in lessons regularly. Each term, assessment data is formally recorded and tracked, so that pupil progress can be closely monitored. Reports on pupil progress are published each term to parents and each year there is a parents evening where progress can be discussed. The SENDCO is available at parents evening or booking an appointment.
The Academy regularly texts, emails or contacts parents by phone to discuss any concerns or progress. Praise, rewards and behavioural concerns are logged and can be viewed by parents on request.
An Annual Review meeting is offered to the parents of pupils who are supported through an Education Health and Care Plan. This meeting, which can include the student, will be to discuss and agree support programmes, or review the support offer.
We can arrange meetings on request, or through our SEND surgeries.
There are a number of ways that parents can be involved in the school:
- Meetings with the SEND and Student Support Teams run throughout the year and can be requested by parents
- Parents evenings with subject teachers take place annually
- Key information published by the school
- School newsletters
- Support, advice and guidance sessions
- Support groups and family learning events
- Text, email and phone calls
- Parents can apply to become Governors when vacancies arise
We are proud of the strong partnerships we have created with parents, students and the community and place a high value on the comments and feedback that they provide in helping us to improve the school even further.
