PROSPECTIVE PARENTS

 

Parents of prospective pupils are welcome to visit the school but in order to avoid disrupting the ongoing activities we ask that this be done by prior arrangement with the Principal or Vice-Principal.

 

BEFORE ENROLMENT

 

(a)  All parents of prospective Primary One Pupils will be invited to visit the school with their child in June 2003 to meet their child’s teacher and visit the proposed classroom.  Parents will also receive an information booklet which will give more details of the school and suggestions for the smooth induction for their child.

 

(b) When children transfer from another school an interview will be arranged with the Principal or Vice-Principal and a suitable time agreed for the child to visit the school and meet the prospective class teacher.

Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs can only be  admitted to the school with the agreement of the S.E.L.B.

 

AFTER ENROLMENT

 

The school attaches great importance to the involvement of parents in their child’s education and tries to offer not only the opportunity to discuss the progress of their child with the individual teachers but also to attend “curriculum” and “open” evenings to help understand the workings, aims and approaches of the school.

 

INDIVIDUAL PARENTS/TEACHER INTERVIEWS

 

During the year, two appointments are normally arranged for parents to meet their child’s teacher in order to discuss the progress being made and whenever possible to discuss ways that the child’s development can be enhanced.  These are usually planned for November and March.

 

Besides these two, parents are welcome to arrange further interviews with the class teacher or Principal as they feel necessary and these can normally be arranged through the school office.
