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.

- 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.
