At St Paul’s, we believe that regular communication between school and home is essential. We want parents and carers to feel informed about their child's progress, achievements and any areas where they may need additional support.

How will we keep you informed?

• Parents' evenings: You will have opportunities to meet with your child's class teacher to discuss their learning, progress and wellbeing.

• Regular communication: Teachers will share information about your child's achievements, development and any concerns that arise.

• Individual Support Plans (ISPs): If your child has an ISP, their progress towards individual targets will be monitored and reviewed half-termly.

• SEND review discussions: Parents and carers of children receiving SEN Support will have opportunities to discuss their child's progress, targets and support at least three times a year.

• Annual school reports: You will receive information about your child's overall progress and achievements.

• Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs): If your child has an EHCP, you will be invited to an annual review meeting to discuss progress towards their agreed outcomes and whether their provision continues to meet their needs.

How do we measure progress?

We recognise that progress looks different for every child. As well as academic achievement, we celebrate progress in communication, confidence, independence, emotional wellbeing, friendships and participation in school life.

Teachers and the SENCO regularly review assessment information, classroom observations and the impact of additional support to ensure that provision remains appropriate.

What if I have concerns about my child's progress?

You do not need to wait until a scheduled meeting. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance or arrange to speak with the SENCO using the email address admin@stpauls909.herts.sch.uk.

Our aim is to work together with families to celebrate every child's achievements, identify their next steps and ensure they receive the support they need to succeed.
