Share Sessions & Parent Training 

Share Sessions are an opportunity for parents to spend time with their child in class and take part in activities together.  This year, we have also introduced a series of in-class Parent Training sessions to help parents understand the learning in class.

We hold Share Sessions, or Story Time or Stay & Play sessions for parents through the year.  The afternoon is spent on enjoying fun topic based class activities with your child and their class friends.

Dates for 2024-25 can be found on the Diary Listing page or here  Parents are notified in advance of the session dates via ParentMail.

Foundation and Key Stage 1 have weekly Tuesday end-of-day sessions for parents, throughout the year, were you can come at 2.50pm to either read or play maths games with your child in class.

What do Parents say about our Share Sessions or Parent in-class Training?

A wonderfully busy and vibrant atmosphere

Wonderful opportunity to see and engage with the children

Enthusiastic children, and a terrific turn-out of parents and carers.

Really helps to understand the type of questions in the SATs maths paper and how we can support!

I was impressed to see my child's improvement in maths and the enthusiasm of the teachers in Year 5/6 leading the sessions.
