PARENT LIAISON POLICY

It is important that communication and cooperation is good between parents/carers

and staff. Parents/carers must be kept well informed and encouraged to become
involved in the education of their children and the life of the school. Children flourish
and achieve much better when teachers and parents/carers work together with
common aims.
We believe it is important for parents/carers to be aware of and involved in their
child’s education.
