Parental Involvement

The school has a “Parents, Teachers and Friends Association” (P.T.F.A.) Parents and carers are encouraged to take part as either committee members helping organise social and fund raising events, or to come along and support such events. All events are organised and run by staff and parents together.

Those parents who wish to work in school in a voluntary capacity, in the classroom are supported and encouraged to do so. (Subject to police checks.)

Parents are frequently invited into school for events such as the Christmas Show, Sports Day or other whole school celebrations, in addition to more formal meetings to discuss children’s progress.

We also think it is important that pupils have the opportunity to help others in need, so try to take part in some charity or fundraising events also.

Communication is kept up with parents through the school newspaper, bus escorts, telephone calls, letters, arranged meetings and home school books where appropriate. Parents are always welcome to get in touch over any issues.

Hayfield also thinks it is vital to share and update information and knowledge. We try to hold coffee mornings, and information sessions, where both professionals and parents can work together.
