Area of Development: Your Journey Through School
Links with our Aims: to promote positive parent-partnership
Why is it important to us?
We want all families to feel welcomed and supported throughout their time at Recreation Road Infant School. We value what
families can bring and recognise the huge part they play in a child's education. To make the most of this we want to ensure that
families understand what we do, why we do it and how their child's journey develops through school. We want to support families in
their role in supporting both the social/ emotional and academic learning journeys of their children. We want families to understand
and value the role school plays in providing social and emotional learning for our youngest children as well as providing a basis for
good academic learning. We want to provide clear and helpful information to families as they move through school and to develop a
partnership from which children can thrive.
What are currently doing well?
We have a range of evidence from comments in learning journals, RoA , questionnaires and Family Learning Evaluations
appreciating what we currently do. Our open- door policy and welcoming staff are instrumental in creating a positive experience.
Alongside of this we have good links with our cluster schools, a hard-working and well- respected Parent Support Advisor, well
established communication links and our Investors in Families Award.
What do we want to develop?
Each Year Group to publish a clear ethos and aims statement
Use of VLE and clear accessible information
Transition between pre-school, into Junior School and between year groups
Early support for families and children through use of well- being groups/ PSA roles
Extend opportunities for family involvement and learning
Promote positive relationships within our community
