Reception Class 2027 Open Day & School Tours
We were delighted to have been awarded the ParentKind Standard Award in summer 2026.
However, we are keen to develop our support and offer to families with the guidance of ParentKind to achieve the Silver Award.
The themes we are currently working on are: Parent Participation, Support for Parents, Communication and Inclusive and Accessible
Volunteering.
You can read our ParentKind Strategy here.
There are lots of resources on the ParentKind website www.parentkind.org.uk including access to free webinars on a variety of topics from “Nurturing your child’s reading journey” to “Coping tools for your child’s big emotions”. You can also find activities to complete with your child and a handy Online Safety Toolkit.
The ParentKind parenting language survey is now open and can help you understand your parenting style and provide us with information on how to support our families! This survey is open until 14th October 2026 and only takes 3-5 minutes to complete. Every completed survey is entered into the ParentKind monthly draw which has a £200 voucher as a prize.
