Parent Handbook

The aim of this handbook is to give you a guide to Christopher Hatton School, it was written by staff and parents together and we update it every year. We hope that it provides you with all the information you need to help you settle in as a parent at Christopher Hatton. Please let us know if you have other questions.

We aim to create a welcoming atmosphere and actively seek to involve families in the life of our school, senior leaders and teachers are in the playground every morning and many queries can be dealt with at this time. It is also possible to make an appointment through the school office. Teachers are also often available for a ‘quick word’ at the end of the day. However, if you need to talk to a teacher in more depth, please make an appointment.

Parent meetings

During the autumn term parents are invited to a ‘meet the teacher’ session.  This is a chance to find out about what your child will be learning and the routines of their new class. In the spring term parents are invited to meet with their child's class teacher and discuss progress and how you can be helping at home. In the summer term parents receive a written report and an invite to a final meeting. You will be given notice in advance and it is very important that you attend these meetings. Parents are, welcome to make an appointment to see the teacher at other times with enough notice. If you have any concerns or questions don’t wait, we are committed to working closely with parents and will always find the time to talk. Teachers may also arrange to meet parents if an issue arises.
