The Parent Zone is for you. It has various sections giving lots of information about the school and activities, how you can support your child’s learning and where to go to get support for you and your family.
If there is something that you are looking for and cannot find, please contact the school and we will be happy to help.
Below are some comments from parents about the school and their child’s education. Ofsted have an online questionnaire called Parent View that allows parents and carers to give their views about their child’s school at any time of the year.
You can give your views about John Chilton School by going to www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk
“I am very pleased with the progress my son has made this year. He has gained a lot of confidence and enjoys going to school.”
“The school makes my son feel useful and independent in many things”
“It has been lovely to see the support we have both been given over this year.”
“We have seen a change in our daughter’s confidence and she seems very happy to go to school each day.”
“My son has improved because of brilliant and caring teachers.”
“We would like to thank all those involved in supporting our son over the last year, to help him achieve his potential and really enjoy his time at school.”
“My son has thoroughly enjoyed school this year and always comes home happy to tell me about his day.”
The pupils learn better and succeed when the school and parents work together in a partnership. We welcome parent participation in the life of the school, for example: helping in a club, talking to a group of pupils about their work or experiences, supporting practical sessions like cooking.
We run a variety of coffee mornings and workshops across the year (check out the calendar and newsletters); to support you in helping your child at home with their learning and to give important information about different stages in their lives, such as transition to adulthood.
Your involvement in these activities is hugely valuable. If you feel you can spend some time volunteering at the school, please contact Mrs Tsangacos (volunteer coordinator). You might be asked to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service form as part of our safeguarding procedures.
