How do we work with pupils & parents to maximise learning?

 

We actively encourage partnerships with parents as you have a vital role to play in your child's learning. We host termly parent /teacher meetings to discuss your child's progress. Please do all that you can to attend these as you will have information to share with others that will help us to make your child's experience at school even better. There is a lot of research that shows that where parents /carers play an active part in a child's education the child is likely to make more progress.

As well as these termly meetings there are lots of informal opportunities to speak with the SENCO or class teacher, for example before or after school.

 

If there is a specific difficulty, we will work closely with the parents and child in a more specific way for a short time until we get the provision right.  This might involve regular conversations either at school or by telephone.

 

In order to support your child's learning, activities may be sent home for you to share and complete together.  If you need support to do these please ask, we will be happy to help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the children at St Martin's are aware of their next steps in learning are and their targets.  We encourage children to talk about their learning, identifying how they learn best and what they find difficult.  

 

Any assessment to help identify barriers to learning will always include an opportunity for the learner to discuss their learning and how they feel St Martin's school can support them further.

 

Children are also asked to feedback their views on how we are supporting their learning in a pupil questionnaire.
