Open Communication

Working together for the best start and brightest future

Working in partnership is very important to every child’s learning journey. Parents know their child best and by working together, we can give children the best start in their educational journey and lay the foundations for the brightest future.

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

Our key approaches to communication at Over:

  • Friendly and helpful staff in the School Office who can help direct you to any information you may need
  • Weekly whole-school newsletter
  • Half-termly class newsletters
  • Annual calendar of events
  • Curriculum maps of the learning planned for the year
  • Informal communication at the beginning and end of the day
  • Parent consultations meetings in the autumn and spring terms
  • Half-termly Parent Forums
  • A progress report that is given out in the Summer term
  • Classroom visits
  • Parent lunch visits
  • Pupil and parent surveys
