Within our school we operate an open door policy and parents/carers are encouraged to make enquiries on any matter, small or large, in person, by email, letter or telephone. Often these enquiries can be dealt with on the spot, although it is sometimes necessary to arrange an appointment to talk the matter through in more detail.
Your child’s teacher or the school office will be able to answer most of your questions, and will normally be your first point of contact. However, the Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher and Key Stage Leaders are always willing to meet with parent/carers to discuss any subject they wish to raise. Please telephone or call in to the school office to make an appointment.
We operate a range of communication strategies to ensure clear, open dialogue between parents and school. Information about forthcoming events, newsletters, educational visits, and diary dates are sent home electronically through Arbor. Newsletters are also sent weekly via Arbor and to our Facebook page. Details and reminders of upcoming events are also shared on our Facebook pages.
If you need to contact your child’s teacher, please email parents@barleyfields.org.uk and put your child’s name and class in the subject line. If the office is unable to answer your query directly, your email will be forwarded to the appropriate member of staff.
Occasionally parents, due to personal circumstances, may request separate and additional copies of school information to be forwarded to them. The school is happy to support this and our procedures are outlined in the ‘working with separated parents policy’.
Full details of our communication policy and procedures can be accessed below.
If you need to update your contact details, please contact the school office.
