Partnership with parents

Consultation Evenings

Parents and carers play an extremely important role in the education we provide for students at Denbigh. There are two formal consultation evenings a year where they can meet with teachers to discuss student progress and identify the next steps in their learning. We also have an options evening for parents of Year 9 pupils to discuss option choices at GCSE.

Regular, informal contact

We maintain high levels of contact with parents to discuss progress and issues of importance about their child's welfare. We encourage parents to contact us by telephone or by email at any time if they have any concerns.

Helping you help your child

We welcome parental contact and involvement and want to support parents so that they are able to play an active role in their child's learning and personal development outside of the home. As part of this we can provide:

relevant guidance on what you can do to support your child at each stage of their learning and development

extra homework and revision support outside of normal school hours in the form of after-school clubs

access to a breakfast club that helps you to meet your work commitments whilst providing an enjoyable opportunity for your child to socialise

access to learning resources and information about your child's learning through our Learning Gateway on the Internet

a variety of weekend, after-school and out-of-term-time sports activities for you and your family.

Parent governors

The governing body includes a number of governors who are parents of children at the school. They make sure that both the parents and child's interests are considered when decisions are made about the school and its future.
