Daiglen School

Academic

Parental involvment
You will be invited to attend various functions during the school year including the carol service, concerts, sports’ day and speech day. A newsletter is sent to parents each term to inform you of dates and events and you are welcome to attend any of the inter-school fixtures which take place. In addition our very active and supportive PTA organises many activities involving parents, children and staff.

To maximise the potential for academic success and all round achievement, we aim to develop a strong working partnership with parents. Detailed reports are sent home in December and July and Parents’ consultation evenings take place in October and March but you are always welcome to make an appointment with the Headteacher to discuss any aspect of your child’s performance. In addition, you will receive your child’s individual targets each term.
