2 Communication Central to the success of your child’s time at Abingdon Prep is a strong relationship between home and school. Your child's form teacher is your first point of contact and is the key worker for your child, supported by our teaching assistants. Website Plenty of useful information can be found on our website, including our calendar, details of our parents’ association, the JPA, and our lunch menu, not to mention news stories about what our pupils have been up to. The Weekly Mailing Each Thursday during term time, parents are emailed our password protected Weekly Mailing which contains important information about forthcoming events at school (usernames and passwords will be provided to parents separately). Please do read this every week and let us know if you aren’t able to access it. Should you ever have any concerns or minor issues, these can often be dealt with at welcome in the morning. Please pass messages to the teacher who welcomes the children at the gate. Alternatively please email your child’s class teacher directly. They will respond as soon as they can. For a longer discussion, it is best for parents to make a separate appointment, which can usually be arranged around the beginning or end of the day. Abingdon Prep News Our termly school magazine provides a snapshot of the wide range of activities our children have enjoyed throughout the course of the previous term. Photographs and Social Media As already mentioned, news stories are published on the school website and shared via social media channels including Instagram and Facebook and this is an engaging way for parents to keep up to date with all that their children are doing. As part of your joiner pack, we ask parents to complete a media consent form to enable us to include your child in our social media, marketing and publicity.
