Excellence through partnership
Working together, communicating together
We strive to build strong relationships with our carers and parents, knowing that our children will reach excellence when s chool and home are working together. Our school motto, 'Excellence through Partnership', reflects our commitment to families and motivates us to improve our communication with them. Every week we publish T he Abbey Lens newsletter , which celebrates the good news from our school and is distributed both electronically and in paper form. We also encourage our students and parents to submit news, photos, and stories to share with our 650+ families. Our website (http://www.abbeyfederation.co.uk/) is regularly updated with events and information for each year group. The calendar page is visited 28,000 times in an average year, averaging 700 hits per week over term-time. T his diary can be synced to your smartphone , so you won't miss any school events!
We offer parents 'Schoolcomms', which provides email correspondence.
We also have ‘Parentpay’, an online and cashless payment system, and ‘Medical Tracker’, a notification tool which emails parents when their child receives first aid or medicine in school. Throughout the year, we also ask for parent feedback through online surveys, which have seen a high response rate and help us in our ongoing school development. Furthermore, parents select each day’s menu for lunch time so that children are guaranteed to get their first choice; this reduces waste and increases uptake,
We are now a completely ‘cashless’ school. More information can be found at: https://www.parentpay.com/schools/customer/primary
