Headteacher's Welcome
November 2009
Dear Parent/Guardian
By now you should have already received the first Progress Report for your child. More reports of this type will follow throughout the year.
As I have explained on numerous occasions the success of your child is very much dependent on effective partnership between student, teacher and parent – I hope the frequency of this performance data gives you the regular information you need to support your child.
One long-standing issue in many schools that causes a great deal of discussion is the issue of homework. We have noticed that parental questionnaire responses indicate that a small number of parents are concerned about homework here at The Holy Family Catholic School.
With this in mind I would like the first ‘Parent Forum’ to be held here at The Holy Family Catholic School to be focussed on the theme of ‘homework’. I envisage that the evening will set out the school’s position on this and invite ideas from parents so that together we can make progress on this issue. Please return the attached slip to book a place at this event.
I would also ask that parents consider joining the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) a group that offers tremendous support for and service to the school – they meet next in the Resource Centre here at the school on Wednesday, 18 November at 7.00 pm.
Two Parent Governors have been appointed and take up position at the next Full Governing Body meeting on the same evening beginning at 5.30 pm – they are James O’Dwyer and Lina Eastwood. There is still, however, one vacancy still to be filled. If any parent is interested in being a Parent Governor please contact Marion Hennigan my PA by Friday, 13 November 2009.
May I take this opportunity to thank the majority of parents who have supported our mobile phone stance this term it is having a positive impact.
Just to repeat any mobile phone or electronic device visible from the moment students enter the school gates until departure at 3.00 pm will be confiscated and returned the next Friday evening following the confiscation.
Finally can I remind you that parents wishing to meet with staff should make a formal appointment and ensure that they sign in at the student reception or school reception. Like any large institution we have to be careful with our security arrangements – I do hope you understand.
Yours sincerely
L A Bentley
Headteacher
