School communication

[Allme501]

How often do you get updates from your primary school please?

We are only getting one general update per week and have only had one specific update about our child since September. The school use an app for this and I feel like they should be doing much more. I have very little idea about what my child is doing all day. Friends with children at other schools seem to be getting much more. I’m nervous as I’m about to apply for his reception place and I’m not convinced I want to keep him in the school he’s in because of this (he’s in the nursery).

Not much really.
.
We get a weekly newsletter which mostly just repeats dates for things in the term. The odd highlight on what a year might be doing.

Then on the school app some weeks we get one post a day, sometimes we can go weeks with nothing at all on what the class has been doing.

We get a term overview at the start of the term of what they will be learning but no idea when in the term they are learning it.

Its a big step back from the nursery communication we were use to.
