13.Parent involvement
How are parents involved in the school?
The relationship with parents/carers is regarded as a partnership. Regular and
frequent communication ensures that parents are kept informed and involved.
The planning undertaken by staff to set young people's goals and targets
includes parent's views and an annual Parent Survey encourages parents to
comment on the provision overall and share ideas for development.
Parents are represented on the Board of Trustees by parent representatives.
Parents/carers and families are able to attend assemblies and events at the
school. A calendar of activities that parents and siblings can participate in with
their child and meet other families includes events such as a Sports Day, a
music festival, and a Christmas Carol Concert.
Parents and families are welcome visitors. A family room and a family flat are
available for parents and families to use and stay in during visits. All parents are
invited to the Statutory Annual Review and LAC Review (where applicable) of
their child's special educational needs. Where appropriate this will be
complemented by social services care reviews.
"Parents are delighted with the school. They praise how dramatically their
children have changed since being at the school." - Ofsted Education Inspection 2017
