Working in partnership
The success of Cleaswell Hill School relies upon a partnership approach to the education of your child.
Making you feel welcome
Keeping in touch through School Ping, diaries, phone calls, emails, letters, Tapestry, newsletters, and Facebook
Offering parent/carer evenings, class, phase and whole school events and assemblies, appointments and home visits
Using the school website to signpost information, advice and support and to keep you up to date with school life
Keeping you informed of your child’s progress through reports and photographs
Inviting parents/carers into school for training, eg. AET
Parents and carers are welcome to make an appointment to meet with members of staff to discuss their child and the curriculum on offer to them. Parents/carers meet with the class teacher and other involved professionals at the EHCP Review meeting annually. These meetings discuss the child’s progress towards their long term EHCP targets and agree new short term PLIM targets to maintain progression over the next year. Any Health Care Plans including intimate care, Relationships and Sex Education, Speech Therapy, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy needs can also be discussed.
Parent/carer evenings are held annually in addition to many other opportunities to visit school, for eg. Christmas Performance, Summer Fair, Sports Day, assemblies and Coffee Mornings.
Cleaswell Hill School works in collaboration with colleagues from the following services and organisations; NHS Speech and Language Therapy, Physiotherapy, Peripatetic Teachers for Sensory Impaired pupils, Educational Psychology and Children and Young People’s Service (CYPS), Portage Service, Peripatetic Music Service, Northumberland Domestic Abuse Service (NDAS), Northumberland Careers Service.
We are in partnership with the North of Tyne Combined Authority Poverty Prevention Programme. This includes Citizens Advice sessions to be held in school for 2 days every half term to support with; benefit entitlement, benefit application forms, food parcels, relationship breakdown, energy advice. In addition to facilitating appointments in school, we also make referrals to Northumberland Frontline for families who would prefer telephone advice.
We also signpost to inclusive, local holiday activities and continue to work with Newman Holiday Trust.
After School Clubs take place every Monday – Thursday. They provide a range of activities delivered both by school staff and external providers eg. Little Movers and PFC Football Coaching.
