Parents In School

We hold a celebration assembly for each year group every half term. This is in addition to the weekly celebration of pupil achievements via newsletters and our social media.

These assemblies are an opportunity for parents to attend the school and celebrate the pupils many individual achievements as well as celebrating the achievements and attendance of each class. 

In every assembly we celebrate the achievement of all pupils based on the school values. 

The dates and times of the assemblies can be found in the calendar, right here on our website. 

Please note that due to other events taking place in school, occasionally the timings/days of our celebration assemblies may change. Please check the calendar on our website, with the office or a member of staff before making the journey to come and join us.

Parents, grandparents and members of the community are all invited to volunteer to help in the classroom, or to help in school generally (subject to a DBS check if this support is regular).

This is invaluable to both the staff and children and also a chance for parents and others to be involved in the life and work of the school.

When helping in school, all of our visitors must sign in via the office at the main reception area.

Please contact us if you would like to get involved.

At the start of each academic year, we hold our 'Meet the Teacher' sessions for Years 1-6.  This is an opportunity for you to meet your child's class teacher and other staff from the year group.  You will also find out about things that will be taking place during the school year, such as trips, events in school and special visitors.

Reception parents will have already met their teachers at our induction evenings and transition sessions.

Our 'Meet the Teacher' sessions for this academic year took place in September 2024.  You can access the presentations below:

Parent Workshops are held throughout the year.  At Yardley Primary School, we believe in fostering a strong partnership between our school and families.  Our parent workshops are designed to support this collaboration by providing parents with valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance their children's learning journey.  These workshops cover a range of topics, for example helping with schoolwork, understanding the curriculum, and promoting positive behaviour at home.  Led by school staff and external agencies, our sessions offer interactive discussions and hands-on activities to empower parents with the tools they need to support their child's education effectively.  Join us in creating a supportive and thriving community for our children to excel both academically and personally.

Dates for parent workshops can be found on our school calendar.
