Parents & Carers

At St Hugh’s, we believe that working in partnership with our parents is the most powerful process in ensuring our parents feel valued and respected, they get to know more about their children’s experiences outside their home and can then use this information to support their learning and development more effectively.

Children can often see learning as more enjoyable when their home life is reflected in the setting, this may lead to them feeling more secure and consequently benefitting more from the educational opportunities given to them.

A few examples of how we support effective parental engagement are that we offer daily communication via parent App, telephone support as required, parent’s evenings throughout the academic year and family support through the Early Help arena. We also hold informal coffee afternoons covering a range of topics and workshops.

Within our local area we have several support services all available to parents/carers. We can offer support or advice if anyone would like to access any of these.

Early Help Assessment
At St Hugh’s, we can offer Early Help at the earliest point to help us decide what type of support is needed, if any to help. Our informal assessment builds on your families strengths. We can then ensure that everyone involved with your child work with you and your family. The Early Help may identify additional areas of support required – we can then help signpost the correct services to help with this together. Please contact school for more information.
