Parents and carers play a vital part in their child’s education and at Bowlish we value this role greatly. We believe that parents are a child’s first teacher and that working “Side by side” is the key to your child’s success in school.

A few examples of how we keep parents informed and engaged in their child’s education, are with:

• Parent forums and workshops.
• Happy Learning Hours.
• The use of ClassDojo.
• Using parent helpers wherever we can.
• A Parent and Family Support Advisor.
• Parent invitations to watch performances and class assemblies.
• Our staff are available face-to-face for daily interaction each morning and after school to greet and
• hand over the children to parents.
• Parent Teacher Meetings and Reporting.
• The weekly Parent Peek
