Short profile:
At Greenholm school we aim to
be a caring school community, working together for quality and success in education
At Greenholm we put partnership with parents into practice in a variety of ways. Parents are always welcome to come into school to discuss matters with staff or the Headteacher, we strive to be approachable and warm as this helps to create a nicer school community for the pupils. The Headteacher is always willing to see parents, other commitments permitting. It is important that you let us know if there are problems at home that may be affecting your child. Illness in a family, bereavement or family break ups may all affect your child and alerting us to the difficulties allows us to deal with you sensitively. Anything you tell us about such circumstances will be treated confidentially.
Detailed description:
We have a Parents’ Association, which works hard to raise extra money for the school. They have supported the work done on the environment, paid for artists to work with the children, funded the purchase of books and so on. In addition to this they organize informal social events such as discos, quiz’s and other functions.
We actively try to get parents involved in their child’s education and with the life of the school. Homework is sent home regularly and this can also be accessed on the schools website. The Tuesday News, the school’s newsletter is published weekly on both paper and electronically and can again be accessed through the school website. Parents are invited into school at least every year to work alongside their child in the classroom at an aspect of their work. These workshops are called Inspire and have been very popular with the children who like to show off their knowledge to their parents, and to parents who are able to see at first hand some of the types of activities we do in school.
We expect our children to be well behaved and considerate to others. We have a behaviour code, which is displayed, throughout the school and the children are regularly reminded of it.
