Parent involvement

1. Parents have access to the My Child At School portal to our BromCom information system. Here they can read messages from the school, see their child's timetable and any homework that has been set, and monitor data on their child's attendance and behaviour.

2. We facilitate home-school contact online as well as face-to-face meetings, providing opportunities to discuss students' progress.

3. We encourage a culture of pro-active positive communication, with teachers keeping parents informed of students’ achievements.

4. We work hard to overcome barriers to parental involvement, by relationship building with hard-to-reach families, responsiveness to feedback, and clear communication.

5. We support home learning e.g. through advice and workshops for parents on how to support homework or exam preparation; and information on activities/exhibitions/events that may support topics being taught in the classroom.

6. Our Turing House Friends group initiates social activities for parents and families.

7. We encourage parents to help with activities within school; e.g. supporting reading initiatives, sports, arts and crafts, school journeys, food technology etc.

8. We encourage parents into school to give short talks about their employment, hobbies, interests, experiences or achievements.

Parents of students are surveyed when they attend Parents' Evenings throughout the year. Some results of recent surveys are below and show the proportion of parents responding who agreed or strongly agreed with each statement. We are delighted that our parents are so happy with Turing House.

One heartwarming comment reads:

We realise, from the newsletter, that we must have missed a parent survey at the recent settling in evening. Apologies for not completing one of these but, rest assured, had we done so, we would have given top marks for every aspect of school life. From the reports we hear ... (about the interesting lessons, engaging teachers, great behaviour, and a vast array of extra-curricular activities) to what we have seen for ourselves (brilliant communication, enthusiastic staff, challenging homework, great learning spaces, and most importantly, a very happy child) we couldn't be more delighted. We can't thank you and the team enough for making all this possible for the children... having missed the survey, we wanted to take the opportunity to say how very happy we were with how the school is running.
