We foster strong partnerships with parents, as we believe good links with home have a powerful influence on your child's development. We know that children feel more confident and positive about their learning when we work together, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation. We look forward to developing this partnership with you and trust you will feel happy to communicate with us about your child at any time.

 

We regularly post on our twitter account @bpinfant sharing and celebrating learning that has been happening in school. You can explore twitter and the website to find more information about your child’s learning, we include lots of photos so that they don't have to remember all the details to tell you themselves!
