Roade Primary School

It is our aim that your child will make the best possible progress at this school and be happy doing it. The teachers plan to provide a secure, friendly environment where the children’s learning is paramount. We seek the co-operation of parents in providing the best possible foundations for each child’s school career. The school does operate an open door policy where parents can discuss problems and concerns with class teachers before and after school.

Parents are formally invited into school three times a year to discuss their child’s progress, well-being and attitude to school life. The school has a home school agreement which parents and pupils are invited to sign.

The school welcomes the active support of parents to complement the work of the staff. At present several parents assist the school with swimming, games, taking groups in class, hearing readers etc.
