Open Communications

We believe that a warm welcome, a positive approach and easy access to information are key to securing effective home/school communication.

There are a number of ways for information to be shared between home and school, including:

• A weekly newsletter
• Weekly class timetables
• Weekly homework emails
• "Stay & Play" days and school open days
• Celebration Sharing Assemblies
• Termly "Teaching and Learning Together" events calendars
• Curriculum maps of the learning planned for the term
• Open Fridays - pop into classrooms with your child to have a look at their work
• Informal communications at the end of the school day
• A post box available in the front entrance for your suggestions and idea
• The school uses Ofsted's ParentView to gather feedback about the school. If you wish to express your views about the school via this website, please click the link below
• Termly parent-teacher meetings and pupil progress reports
• Friendly, helpful staff in the office who can help direct you to any information you might need
• A dedicated Spinney Family Participation coordinator to signpost ways for you to get even more involved in your child's learning in school or to suggest additional services
• Senior teachers and the Headteacher and/or Deputy headteacher around on the playground at the start and end of most days
