Family Meetings (new for September 2025)
At the beginning of each school year we hold 'Family Meetings'. This is an opportunity for families to come in to school to meet your child's new teacher. At this meeting we share key information, you can ask any questions, set goals and aspirations together for the year ahead and overall ensure your child feels secure and supported for the year ahead. This is also an opportunity to find out what your child will be learning over the course of the year. These meetings will take place on Tuesday 2nd September throughout the day and then on Wednesday 3rd September, Monday 8th September and Wednesday 10th September after school. Parents can book an appointment via Arbor.
Parent's Evening
We hold Parents Evening twice a year; one in the Autumn Term and one in the Spring Term. Parents evening is an opportunity for you to have a face to face meeting with your child's class teacher to discuss learning, progress, next steps and how you can support your child as their parent. At Kippax Ash Tree we know that parental involvement has a significant positive effect on children's education and we are passionate about building strong relationships with our parents and families though clear, open and honest communication.
