Introduction

When schools, parents and carers share information, everyone has a really good understanding of how they can help children to learn. Communicating with each other and sharing information lets you, your child and the school work together as partners in your child's education.

The better the information you receive and the more information you can share with the school, the better you can support your child's learning –and so can the school. It really helps your child to feel confident and happy, and improves their chances of success.

Making the school aware of many things you know about your child and what they are doing out of school can be helpful. Teachers will be able to build on your child's wider experiences and skills when they are at school.
