We are committed to ensuring communication to and from school is effective. An OWLS form (link above) is used for parents/carers to tell us:
Opportunities of offers of time, resources or expertise to support the work of the school
What is going well?
Listening ear—share any concerns or complaints you may have
Suggestions and ideas. Please see the Reception Office for a form.
Non urgent messages about learning can be written into the Reading Record book and a teacher will respond. For urgent messages that the class teacher will need to know straight away, please either send a note with your child into school, see the teacher face to face or telephone/pop into the school reception office.
Our monthly newsletter, termly class newsletters, coffee mornings and the school website will also be ways we ensure parents/carers remain well informed about school life.

If you have any suggestions or can offer help at any events please let us know.
A: Yes of course. All KS2 children leave by their classroom doors and Reception and KS1 teachers hand over the children to a responsible adult. Please feel free to catch the teacher at this time for a quick word. It is difficult first thing in the morning but you can leave a message with the adult at the door and the teacher or TA will get back to you. We also have our new drop in sessions following the class assemblies when your child can show you the classroom and their books. We will continue to have our usual parent’s evening to discuss progress with you.
A: If children bring a snack to school it should be a healthy option. This is a piece of fruit or a healthy snack bar. We do not allow crisps, chocolate, sweets. Children are encouraged to drink water to keep their brains healthy and active. They should not bring sugared drinks. Stanbridge has Healthy Schools status.
