Marlcliffe Primary School

 Dear Parent/Carer

At the moment there are a range of different developments taking place throughout the school. One of these is receiving parents’ opinions and ideas about the teaching that takes place within the school.  We regard the opinions of parents highly and we would like you to take part in one of the developments of our teaching.

We would like to ask you to observe some of the teaching that is currently taking place and to give your opinions about what you feel is being done well.  We would also encourage you to comment on anything that you feel we could improve about our teaching.  This observation period will only last for the morning session of a mutually suitable day and we will be able to aid you at any stage.

After you have observed some teaching in the school we would like you to write some of your comments in a brief report.  The purpose of this is to inform other parents from the school about the teaching and developments that are taking place.  We shall be sending this report out in the Christmas newsletter.

We know that parents would like to have a greater knowledge of what happens in lessons and we feel that you, as a parent, would be a suitable person to inform them of this.  If you feel that you would be able to take part in this programme we would greatly appreciate a response to Mrs. Fearnehough, Mr. Brooks or Mr. Gelsthorpe.

Yours sincerely

J Gelsthorpe
