Parents and Carers
Home and School as Partners
"Parents are well informed of their children's progress and appreciate the way that they are fully involved by the school in their children's education" - OFSTED 2007.
Parents are very important to us at Bradshaw Hall. We maintain an open door policy where parents are welcomed into school and are continually looking for ways to develop stronger and more positive links.
Sharing special events, times and activities with parents and encouraging parents to join us as often as possible to share the milestones in their children's education is a key feature of our school.
Safeguarding Children
Schools have an important part to play in child protection.
Parents should be aware, therefore, that where it appears to a member of the school staff that a child has been abused physically, emotionally, sexually or neglected the school is REQUIRED to report the matter to Social Services Division IMMEDIATELY.
Consequently, in such situations, it is likely that the social worker will contact the parents, NOT THE SCHOOL.
This requirement forms part of the local authority's procedures for dealing with child abuse and is not a matter for the discretion of individual Headteacher's or members of school staff.
