Mrs Robinson, the head of our primary school shared with me what one parent wrote on the back of her questionnaire. I share it with you too as it goes to show what parents think of our school.
My child is still in the foundation stage and hasn't yet started formal RE Lessons. We chose this school specifically for its religious ethos.
So far we are delighted that our new priest has already established good links with the childre, building on the strong links between the school and the parish community.
At the parents induction evening we were told exactly how important RE was, not just as part of the curriculum but in its wider context of being a Catholic school. Also we were told about the responsibilities we ahared as parents and how best we could work in partnership with the school to ensure a continuity at home. We also took home a prayer book with all the prayers that are said at school.
My child's teachers tell me about that is being taught in all subjects and I am happy that the RE is being taught in a very age appropiate manner. The prayer areas each classroom are beatuifully inviting and reflect the spirituality of our school community. At this time also we are looking forward to our first nativity.
As a family we are benefitting from the pastoral are offered by the school and that for us is the greatest expression of our Catholic Faith.
