Who to talk to at school
Staff at school will always try to keep parents informed of the progress children are making. This usually happens at parents evenings and open afternoons and sometimes through telephone calls and meetings.
There are times when parents will want to talk to someone in school about their child. If you wish to discuss any issues the first person you need to speak to is your child's class teacher.
If this is not possible, you could speak to the phase leader for the year group.
