Communication with Parents\Carers

We want every child at The Pingle Academy to be happy and to succeed.  In order for that to happen, we wish to maintain a healthy and collaborative relationship with parents/carers.  Communication from the academy to parent/carers is extremely important to us.

 

The academy will develop an open and transparent relationship with parents/carers by the following means of communication:

  • All parents/carers of students in Year 7-13 to be invited to Parents’/Carers’ Information Evening in September.
  • Parents’/Carers’ Evening for all year groups calendared from October to June.
  • Open Evening in October and Year 6 Transition Day/Evening in July for new Year 7.
  • A calendar of academy events is published on the academy website at the start of each academic year https://www.pingleacademy.com/78/calendar and published in the Principal’s parent/carer letter throughout the year.
  • Classcharts is used by the academy to communicate attendance, rewards and behaviour.
  • In Term 1, Term 2 and Term 3 students in Key Stage 3 will take their subject books home to show parents/carers.
  • A curriculum Faculty newsletter for all KS3 subjects is published twice per year/per subject.
  • The Pingle Academy Newsletter published half termly providing an update on academy events, visits, achievements and progress.
  • Information podcasts on the academy website covering key themes such as:
