Parents

We value our partnership with parents and seek to involve them in all that we do.

Here are some of the ways that parents and carers can be involved with our school;

  • Join the Friends of Downs View and support their fund-raising efforts

  • Become a Governor

  • Help in the classroom

  • Come to our Curriculum Workshops and Parent support programmes

  • Attend Parent Consultation Evenings

  • Join in with Working Party days

  • Come to Class and Birthday Assemblies

  • Share your views and ideas about the school with staff

  • Support special events

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Macmillan Coffee Morning[4]

Thank you to all parent/carers who attended our Macmillan Coffee morning.  It was a great success, not only raising money for a worthwhile charity but also a great opportunity for parents to have a coffee and a chat. 

Helping you

We want to do everything we can to support you as parents and carers. We like parents to feel that there is nothing they can’t ask for help and support with. If we can’t help directly, we can find someone else who can.

Parent Support Programmes

We offer a number of parent support programmes on our school site.  We also link up with Suresteps Children’s Centre and local Adult Education Centres to deliver programmes for parents. You can talk to Suzanne about what’s going on and where.
