Parents and Carers Week Parents and Carers Week is an annual event at DUCKS. This is an opportunity for you to participate in school life and special events including: • stay and play classroom sessions • joining in PE, Music lessons or Library visits • open classrooms • shared reading We hope you can join us during this fabulous week and experience learning with your child/ren. Here are some quotes from this year’s parents/carers: Parents’ Evening In the Kindergarten, parents/carers are invited in to meet their child’s key person to discuss their child’s progress. In this meeting we look at each child’s learning journey and discuss the progress they are making. In the Infants’ School, parents’ evenings are a time when you can meet the class teacher to discuss your child’s progress. The specialist teachers are also available to talk to Infants’ School parents/carers during these evenings. The dates and appointment request forms will be sent out via DUCKSPost. You will receive a written confirmation the week prior to the parents’ evening. In the Summer Term Year 1 parents/carers are invited to a meeting with the Head of DUCKS and their child’s class teacher. This is an opportunity to start considering your child’s options after completing Year 2. This is followed up by a further meeting in the Michaelmas Term, to ensure we work in partnership with you throughout the transition to your child’s new school and you have a clear understanding of your child’s progress. We believe that children benefit most when parents/carers and staff work together in partnership to ensure quality care and learning for the children. DUCKS staff welcome parents/carers as partners and this relationship needs to be built on trust and understanding. It is important that we support parents/carers in an open and sensitive manner. A two way sharing of information, knowledge and expertise is key to this. Parents and Carers Parents and carers are a hugely important part of the DUCKS community. We want to make you all feel welcome and included. We hold talks throughout the year on topics that we feel will be useful and relevant to parents with children at DUCKS. There are lots of opportunities for Parents and Carers to work with their children in school and these are advertised in our newsletter each week.
