Holtsmere End Infant and Nursery School

Parent Partnerships:

Our strong relationships with parents support the children to achieve and make the best progress they can.

Teachers are always willing to discuss ways to improve your child's progress and emotional well being.

Children have work they can do with parents at home. Staff are always happy to suggest other ideas.

Homework is carefully differentiated according to children's needs and reflects what is taught that week or is linked to the learning.

If your child:

Has difficulty coming into school

You are worried about their health, behaviour, progress

They have friendship issues

Your child is a young carer

There are difficulties at home which may be having an impact on your child’s wellbeing

Then your child’s class teacher is the best person to speak to and if they are unable to help they will be able to sign post you to people in school or external agencies who can.

Our SENDCo Mrs Kathryn Lloyd may be able to refer your child to the following agencies:

CAMHS
Health visitors
Young carers
Living Stable lives
Links Family Services
