Parent Information

Parents play a vital and active role in the busy life of our school community.  You are always welcome to attend concerts, productions, sports fixtures and other events.

Communication between pupil, parent and school is also key and we have a number of systems in place to ensure this happens successfully and regularly.

In addition to the regular meetings with your child’s teacher, parents are kept in touch through:

  • Pupil homework diaries (Juniors) and reading records (Prep) which are monitored and signed on a daily basis providing a regular and important opportunity for contact with parents
  • The weekly RPS Link which is emailed to parents with relevant notices and information, together with the lunch menu for the week ahead
  • Ad hoc ClarionCall (our email and text communication service) messages as required
  • Half-termly newsletters from the Headmaster.

This section of the website also provides practical information for our current parents.  If you are unable to find what you are looking for here, please contact the School Office: office@richardpate.co.uk or call 01242 522086.
