Headteachers Letter of Introduction

Dear Parents / Carers,

We are very pleased to welcome you and your child to Terrace Road Primary School and hope the years spent with us will be happy, successful and memorable. The information in this prospectus is intended to help introduce you and your child to the school.

Terrace Road Primary School has always enjoyed a good reputation in the community, with whom we foster close relationships. We host many visitors because of our reputation for being a pro-active, innovative learning environment. We strive constantly to achieve high quality teaching and learning catering for the individual child in terms of both welfare and educational provision. We believe that every child should be encouraged to reach their full potential.

Terrace Road Primary School is a multi-cultural school and we celebrate this richness and diversity fully. We offer a well researched broad curriculum with experienced staff trained to a high level. Your child will gain literacy, numeracy, scientific, physical, artistic and technological skills. They will also build confidence, self esteem, develop self reliance, learn to make decisions and develop the ability to articulate feelings and ideas. We also attach great importance to the development of pupils social skills and seek to enable them to build relationships with other children and adults and be sensitive to the feelings and needs of others.

As parents, there are a number of things you can do to help:

Reassure your children about school: talk to them about their teacher, the activities they are

doing, the friends they are making and the happy time they will have;

Keep us informed of any significant details relating to your childs education. Tell us of any

allergies, major health problems, or personal circumstances, which might be significant. This information will be regarded as confidential and will help us to care all the more effectively for your child;

Do not hesitate to come and see us if there is a matter you wish to share. Remember

however, that some things are better discussed away from your children, at a time when the teacher is free to talk to you. We therefore hold Parent/Teacher Surgeries every Wednesday after school to facilitate staff parent liaison;

You may be certain that we will do our best to ensure that your child will never fail. The staff

are highly skilled at assessing pupils individual level of development and then supporting them in moving, at their own pace, towards their full potential. We work hard to ensure that all children feel good about themselves and acquire a high level of self-esteem. We believe that if you feel successful, you will be successful.

We wish your child a happy introduction to the school and successful progress through his / her time with us. We strongly believe that your involvement in this process is crucial and we will keep you informed about the ways in which we are working with your child. We are keen to have parental involvement at all levels and if you have any spare time to come into the school and work with us, you will be made very welcome. We already have an excellent team of volunteers who make a significant contribution to the success of the school. We also employ a significant number of parents and grand parents who work throughout the school. However, there is always room for more helpers!

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. A. Evans
