Parent Partnership

All members of the school are committed to working closely with parents and the local community.  Parents and guardians are always welcome at the school and any questions or concerns are treated promptly and with respect.  We get to know our students' parents very well and have worked closely with many families for more than twenty years.  Former students of Rashid and Latifa Schools now make up a significant proportion of our parent body. 

Central to this partnership is good communication; progress sheets, reports and parents meetings are all used to keep mothers and fathers well informed.  Discussion with parents and questionnaires are used to find out from parents what they think of the school and whether there are any areas where they would like to see change.

Within the Primary Section parent workshops, 'Tawasl', are used as a forum for debate and discussion on a wide range of issues related to education and children's welfare.  Parents are also invited to engage with their children's learning through activities such as sports days and reading activities. 

In cases where students need extra support we work with parents to produce a Home-School Contract, where the students are given additional guidance and attention.  These contracts are reviewed every eight to ten weeks so that progress can be closely monitored.

We are continuously looking for ways to improve or develop Rashid School and the views of parents are always welcome.
