Johnstown School

The school develops strong links with parents and carers. They organise a broad range of engagement events that support parents’ knowledge and understanding of the school’s work. For example, the ‘Celebrate Learning’ events enable parents to experience learning activities during the school day. Leaders regularly ask parents for their opinions through questionnaires and the parent forum. They make changes following feedback, for instance to adapt home learning activities. The links with parents of pupils with ALN is particularly effective. These include drop-in sessions for parents where they can access beneficial support and advice.
