Parent Voice
We are trying to create as many opportunities as possible for parents to become involved in the development of the school. Your views are important to us!
We would like to have a bank of parents on whom we can call when we need to seek views about impending developments and major changes to the running of the school. We would access your views in whatever way suited you best and at times and occasions convenient to yourselves e.g.:-
- Occasional working groups, meeting at times convenient to parents
- On line surveys
- Questionnaires
- Single question texts
- Interviews
At Sandy Upper School we wish to work together in order to:
- reach our full potential.
- ignite and maintain our excitement in learning.
- ensure that everyone feels it's good to achieve and good to have a go.
- have pride in our school.
- have the best possible education and an equal chance for all.
To do this we will:
- monitor and review our work and set targets for improvement.
- work as a team in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
- Always have respect for others.
- Respect our school and its facilities.
- Always do your best in everything you do.
- Come to lessons on time, equipped and ready to learn. Only bring what you need for the lessons.
- Listen to others in class and put your hand up if you wish to speak.
- Be proud of our school and wear the correct uniform.
- Keep to the left in corridors and be polite and courteous when moving around the school.
