Firstly, make an appointment to speak to the class teacher. This can be via the front desk or by emailing office@allertonceprimary.com who will then send on to the appropriate member of staff. They will have immediate information as to how your child is performing at school in all areas. In addition to normal reporting arrangements, staff are always keen to discuss the progress of your child with you. Parents and carers are encouraged to make appointments to discuss any concerns with teaching and support staff. The Senior Leadership team, including Key Stage Leaders, are also available to enhance these discussions. It is very important to us to have positive dialogue with families to ensure the best possible experience for your child.

Class teachers will be able to put your mind at rest or set up a meeting with a member of the inclusion team if appropriate. Other professionals may be included in this, or a later, meeting. Remember, children may have additional needs at any part of their time in school, it is always best to discuss with staff so we can work together to support your child.
