My child started Reception in September and so far the communication between the school and parents has been next to nothing. We get a little ai made ‘what’s happening next week’ with a brief overview of what they will be learning via Tapestry but that’s it. I was expecting more than this. Their website states they post ‘wow’ moments and my child has been on ‘wow’ three times since starting but I’ve seen none of it. I don’t do many pickups and drop offs either due to work so don’t really see staff. I feel the school have made zero effort to build that relationship with parents that is the baseline going forward. I work in education and my school use Tapestry to send weekly roundups including photos as well as at least one personal post per child a week. Friends with children the same age at different schools get something similar. Parents evening is coming up and I want to mention it but don’t want to be ‘that’ whiny parent. I understand it’s not the same as nursery and there are up to 30 children in a class (24 in my child’s) but this school seems to be the anomaly compared to other schools in the area.
If your child is in reception, how much communication do you get from the school about their learning and what they’ve been up to?
