Effective Communication
Parent/Carer WhatsApp Groups
Parent/Carer WhatsApp groups, which operate independently of the school, can be useful for connecting parents in a particular class or year group.
Year group/ class WhatsApp groups have been voluntarily set up by the parents in each class and endeavour to include all parents with children in the class. There is no requirement to join these groups, and participation is voluntary.
Ideally, these group chats are used as an efficient means of receiving relevant updates and reminders about school events that have been published in the newsletter, the sharing of information that is of general interest to all parents in the class or a forum to offer any supportive parenting advice.
The messages in the class or year WhatsApp groups come from parents/carers in their personal capacity. The school does not post directly on any WhatsApp parent/carer groups, nor do we have ‘parent advocates’ who post messages on our behalf.
