Our Families

We are committed to continuously strengthening our partnership with parents in order to achieve the best outcomes for every child. Parents are always welcome in our school. We understand the significant effect they have on their child’s education, and firmly believe, that by working together, children excel. Each year, parents are expected to work alongside their children in specially designed workshops, so that parents are fully equipped to support their child’s learning at home. We also hold regular parents’ meetings; specific workshops and celebrations, and have termly Learning Passports, Pupil Planners to encourage dialogue about learning between home and school, and to share information. Ryders Hayes has an open-door policy encouraging families to work in partnership with class teachers and leaders. Parents are invited into school to see and work alongside their children on a regular basis, including joining our celebrations to receive special awards.

​

We publish a bi-weekly school newsletter and communicate through Arbor App to keep parents informed. Staff are available for informal discussions each morning on the playground, with opportunities to book appointments for specific matters via telephone, email and GMeet. Our Safeguarding & Wellbeing Leader, Mr Rylance is always available to discuss matters with parents and provide further advice, signposting  and support through to external services.
