Families

Ladywood provides a wealth of support for families, including offering a wide variety of training, strong partnerships with external agencies that can support at home and a consistent and open approach to communication. In addition, we highly value our social calendar, which includes events such as the Christmas Fair, Easter Bingo and Summer Fair, which allows great opportunity to build relationships for all families across school.

Parents are able to communicate with school in a number of ways. These include face to face meetings, telephone calls and Class Dojo. We love to celebrate and share our children's learning experiences and we do this on a number of platforms, including our School Blog, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Our parent training includes a range of topics, including Communication, Restricted Diet, Computing and specific curriculum topics such as Reading.

Topics covered are led by the needs of our children and their families. We are very fortunate to be able to offer and share a wide range of knowledge due to the experience of our school staff, on-site outreach team and other outside agencies.

“Since my daughter has started at Ladywood. I feel I have become part of a family that understands my daughter and myself. I have been shown support, gained advice and most of all I feel welcome. I feel the staff go up and above their duties with the best interests of the children in mind at all times. I enjoy the school website, the blog and the twitter page. I feel involved in the school and welcomed. The school diaries are a great way to keep the communication going from both sides. I feel lucky we are part of the Ladywood family”

Melanie Andrews (parent)

“The open and responsive nature of the team at Ladywood is absolutely invaluable, especially for children who have limited communication. Being involved in the day to day of school is a great help and gives us greater insight into our sometimes mysterious child”

Daniel Steele (parent)

Ladywood School prides itself on its partnership with parents and carers and we know that this relationship is crucial in the success of our children. We are committed to supporting the families of our people.
