We believe that strong, positive partnerships between school and home are essential to every child’s success. We value the role of parents and carers as the first educators and know that when we work together, children feel more supported, confident, and ready to learn.
We encourage regular communication with families through newsletters, Class Dojo, parent meetings, and informal catchups. We also welcome parents into school to attend events, assemblies, and workshops, and we are always happy to talk through any concerns or questions.
There are lots of simple but powerful ways you can support your child’s learning at home, including:
- Reading regularly together and talking about books
- Practising number bonds and times tables
- Encouraging writing through shopping lists, diaries, or stories
- Asking questions about their day and showing interest in what they’ve learned
- Supporting a regular homework routine
- Using educational websites or apps suggested by school
We know that families sometimes need extra help, and we’re here to support you. Whether it’s advice on routines, attendance, behaviour, or wellbeing, our staff team is approachable and understanding. We also work closely with local services and support networks to offer practical help where it’s needed.
Support available may include:
- Access to our Parent Support Advisor for guidance and signposting
- Help with attendance and punctuality through our Attendance Team
- Information about free school meals and financial support
- Links to local community and health services
- Parent workshops on literacy, numeracy, or online safety
We are committed to being a welcoming and inclusive school where all families feel listened to and valued. Your views matter, and we encourage regular feedback to help us improve and grow.
Together, we can build a strong foundation for your child’s future, because at Hexthorpe Primary Academy, every child matters, and every family is part of our community.
