A Right to be Listened To
Children at East Preston Infant School are listened to in everyday learning, PSHE sessions, through The School Council and through the annual Governor Questionnaires.
Try to have a discussion with your child at the end of each day and really listen to what they say. For example you could ask them:
- What did you learn at school today?
- What games did you play in the playground?
- Who are your friends at school?
- What would you like to do this weekend?
- Tell me about the story you are reading.
A Right to be Educated
At East Preston Infant School we offer a broad and rich curriculum which is exciting and engaging. On our website you will find a Virtual Book Nook where you can hear about the staff's favourite stories and share in some interactive stories with Julia Donaldson and Kes Gray. Home learning is shared through Google Classroom and parents have access to Purple Mash where lots of exciting learning tasks are available. To find out more about our learning click here.
The West Sussex SENDIAS Service provides impartial advice and information to parents and carers of children who have special educational needs.
A Right to be Treated Fairly
In order that everyone is kept safe and treated fairly, we have clear behaviour codes to support the children. We want our children 'To Be The Best That You Can Be'. To find out more about our approach click here.
