17. How are parents involved in St Mary’s Fields and how can I be prepared?

We welcome parents into the school in a variety of different contexts.

We have:

• Weekly Friday assemblies when any parent can come to enjoy a class or celebration assembly

• ‘Curriculum Matters’ sessions when parents can come into school and learn more about supporting their child at home

• ‘School Nurse Drop Ins’ where local professionals visit to advise parents on health issues

• ‘PATCH’ – a group of interested parents who enjoy meeting together to raise funds for charity or for school and organise events in school.
