Parent Consultations and Reporting

Parents and the National Curriculum Parents need to be kept informed about what their children will be
learning at school and how they are progressing.

Published in October 1991, the ‘Parent's Charter’ listed five key documents which parents have a right to
receive:

o an annual report on the child;
o regular reports from independent inspectors;
o performance tables for all local schools;
o a prospectus or brochure about the school

Information About Your Child's Progress Open evenings are held once in the Autumn and Spring terms.

Early in the Autumn Term there is an opportunity for parents to meet the child's teacher and exchange
information.

In the Spring Term teachers meet parents and children to review progress made so far.

Just before the Summer Term Open Evening, an annual written report will be sent home. At this Open
Evening your child may come with you to show and explain their work. The class teacher will be there to
explain any comments on the report to you, should this be necessary. We hold workshops for parents on
specific subjects related to the National Curriculum e.g. reading and mathematics.

ATTENDANCE & TERM TIME HOLIDAYS Coming to school every day is really important and we know that
working together makes this easier. The target for attendance is 96%. We are grateful for the co-
operation of parents/carers who are asked to adopt the following procedures:

1. Please telephone the school or send a note giving the reasons for absence by 9.15am on the
1st day of absence. If we have not received a reason for absence by 9.15am our Attendance
Officer operates a ‘first day absence’ calling system for your child’s safety. The officer is
then obliged to inform the LA if they cannot make contact.

2. If a child is receiving treatment from a doctor or a dentist and needs time out from school,
please let the class teacher know the previous day. When collecting your child, call at the
office and your child will be brought to you in the reception area. Your child will then be
‘signed out’ giving a reason for leaving school during session time and ‘signed in’ when your
child returns. You should provide a letter from your GP, Hospital, dentist etc, for all
appointments

3. If a child arrives late for school, they need to come to the front office where they will be
signed into the late book.

From the 1st of September 2013 and following guidelines from the DfE (Department for Education), the
Headteacher at Red Hall Primary School may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless
there are exceptional circumstances. Any unauthorised leave of absence could result in a referral being
