At Trinity All Saints, we value the interest and time parents spend helping their children and the school as a whole.  We are working continually to improve the breadth of opportunities available to our children.

Parental Involvement is about

• Having positive parenting skills in terms of love, kindness, generosity, being responsive, supportive, and consistent, providing opportunities and taking an interest in children.
• It is about talking with and listening to children, helping with homework and discussing school.
• Finding out more about what and how children learn in school so that parents have a clearer understanding of how to help their child at home.
• Creating opportunities for learning in and amongst everyday life, when getting to school by bus, on foot, or by car, shopping in a supermarket, cooking a meal, eating together, cleaning, washing etc.
• Spending quality time together playing a game, playing with toys, going to the park, kicking a ball about, visiting places of interest, and going for a walk.
• Sharing experiences which can be enjoyed together.
• Meeting the physical needs of the children in terms of ensuring they get a good night's sleep, eating breakfast, supporting children in getting ready for school, organising and monitoring a child’s time.
