Parental Engagement

Parental engagement is a valued part of life at East Park Primary School, and we recognise that strong partnerships between home and school play a vital role in shaping pupils’ learning, confidence and future success.

From Nursery, our Stay, Play and Learn sessions encourage parents to become actively involved in their children’s early learning and development. Throughout the school, parents are invited to participate in curriculum immersion days and learning activities across many curriculum areas, including Art, Phonics, English, Science and Maths, helping them understand how knowledge and skills are taught and how they can support learning at home.

We also provide information seminars for parents to explain statutory assessments in Year 1, Year 4 and Year 6, ensuring families understand expectations and how best to support their children.

Parents regularly join us to celebrate key events, including family sports days, sporting competitions, achievement assemblies, music events and class performances. In addition, we draw upon parents’ professional expertise, personal achievements and experiences to enrich the curriculum, broaden pupils’ horizons and provide meaningful links between learning and the wider world.

Through this collaborative approach, we value parents as partners in their children’s education, recognising that working together helps to shape our pupils’ aspirations, experiences and achievements.
