Seeing is believing
At Hovingham we recognise and value the partnerships between parents and school and the trust, we believe that every aspect of parent engagement and communication must be framed around our values and help you achieve the dreams and aspirations you have for your family.
Respect : We will engage our parents to make sure we have the right conversations at the right time to support their aspirations around education.
Creative: We will ensure that all communication is accessible and find ways to remove communication and language barriers so that we can engage and co-educate.
Tolerance: We will foster a relationship where parent and their child’s voice is pivotal, will listen and respond.
Perseverance: We will always be curious to support our families to be the best that they can be, we will persevere and support as early as we can.
At Hovingham there are several ways we will engage with parents:
- Engaging parents with improving their children’s attendance
- Engaging and supporting parents
- Engaging parents with the Hovingham way.
- Engaging parents withing Early Years and utilizing parents as co-educators
- Engaging parents with their children’s education Teaching and Learning
- Engaging parents with shaping and improving school
- Engaging new parents with Hovingham
There are many opportunities for parents to speak with class teachers and leaders in school, this is often informally, face to face each morning and afternoon, or an appointment can be made. There are 6 seeing is believing sessions for each year, these sessions are led by your child who will show and talk through their work and progress. Teachers will also provide verbal and written reports.
