Building Strong Home-School Connections

We believe that a close and effective relationship between home and school is vital for student success. There are numerous formal and informal opportunities for parents and staff to discuss academic and social development.

 

Parent-Teacher Evenings

Regularly scheduled evenings allow parents to discuss their child's progress with teachers.

 

Written Reports

Detailed reports on student progress are sent home twice a year.

 

At St Swithun’s Prep, we are committed to creating a supportive, enriching, and engaging environment for all our students. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s educational journey.
