The way we’re teaching is changing, it’s time we change the way we communicate and engage with the whole school community.
Following the removal of national curriculum levels, schools have been given a measure of freedom as to how they teach the curriculum – but do parents still understand how to read the performance of their child?
A study by Capita (2016) on 1,864 primary school parents and teachers uncovered 4 areas of concern related to the way the school communicates reports with parents and the way that the whole school community is engaged:
Lack of information about child performance conveyed between school and parent Absence of information around child happiness and confidence Requirement from parents for a more personalised approach from schools Concern from schools that additional effort in this area will add to teacher workload
