Campsmount Academy
Parents and Students
Information for Parents, Carers and Students
This section of the website provide information which is helpful to parents, guardians, students and to everyone associated with the academy.
Good communication, from the academy to home and from home to the academy, is essential to helping ensure that students benefit as much as possible from their time at Campsmount.
Our staff and governors are determined to achieve excellent communication between the academy, students, parents and carers. An important step towards this is to ensure that there are lots of different ways of home/academy communication and that these ways work.
If you have moved home once your child is at our academy please tell us straight away!
Communication can take place through:
Home-School Agreement
An agreement, placing responsibilities on all concerned, that sets out what parents and students can expect from the school and what the school expects from parents and students.
School Prospectus
This document, which provides an overview of the academy and how your child will be part of it, is given to all parents and interested parties.
School Reports
Your child will receive an annual report and you will have the opportunity to discuss this with his/her tutor.
Regular Parents’ Evenings
Your opportunity to come in to the academy, meet the teachers and discuss your child’s progress.
Academy Newsletters
General news from the academy about events and useful information, produced every half-term.
Parentmail ©
News from the academy direct to your inbox. Register your e-mail address with the school to receive Parentmail.
Letters Home
If you don’t have access to a computer, no problem – a letter will be sent home with your child.
Phone Calls to and from Home
If anything urgent crops up during the day, we’ll call you. And if there’s anything that you think we need to know about, please call us!
Questionnaires
From time to time, we may ask you to complete a questionnaire seeking your view about things the academy does or is considering doing. We’d be grateful if you would find time to complete the form and send it back.
Academy Events
From the Christmas concert to the school play, academy events are a great way to meet staff and other parents and to learn more about what goes on at the academy, as well as celebrate your child’s achievements.
Finally, if you feel that your experience of communicating with the academy isn’t as good as you would wish, please contact us. We want your experience of Campsmount to be the very best it can be.
