Parent & Carers Partnership
At Edward Feild we believe in a working partnership between home and school and involve parents throughout their children's time with us. Our Home-School Agreement states the schools’ aims for your children and asks you as partners to help us enable your children to achieve.
The school has a Pastoral Support Worker (see Meet the Team) who works with families who have particular issues and want to work with the school to resolve them.
Please refer to the school home agreement in the Parent Handbook.

How you can help our school
Many of our families are extremely supportive of the school – helping in class, accompanying trips, going swimming, making and mending resources, helping to run clubs, doing practical jobs in school, fundraising, joining the Friends or being governors.
Parents are always welcome to help in the school. There is a huge variety of activities from week to week and you should talk to your child’s teacher to find out how your skills can be best used. With your help we are able to offer extra activities, which cannot happen without additional adult support.

This insurance will not operate if the person's own negligent actions cause injury to themselves or damage to their own property. Any damage or injury caused by a chance occurence, for which nobody can be held responsible, would not be covered under this insurance. The safety of personal property of pupils, or people visiting school premises, remains their responsibility. You may wish to take out personal accident insurance for your child.
