Welcome to our Class Open Afternoons
We hold class open afternoons at the beginning of each academic year. Parents are invited into their child's class to listen to a presentation from their child's class teacher. The class teacher talks parents and families through the year ahead and sets out our expectations for our pupils. You will also get the opportunity to ask questions and meet the staff working in that class. This open afternoon allows parents to get a real insight in to their child's year of education with us alongside revisiting our school ethos and values.
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.
