Contact Procedure

Contact Procedures

Westerings Primary Academy welcomes the partnership with our parents/carers. Communication has a vital role to play in ensuring this happens.

Please would you follow the procedures here if you wish to discuss or let us know anything about your child. Start at #1...

  • Please note that our staff regularly attend meetings before/after school and have responsibilities for preparing lessons or holding after-school clubs. For this reason, it is unlikely a teacher would be able to meet a parent at short notice and we request that appointments are made in advance.

  • Our PHASE LEADERS are:

Upper KS2 - Mr Towler
Lower KS2 - Mrs Woods
KS1 - Mrs Towler
EYFS - Mrs Benstead

  • Should our senior staff be unable to resolve your concern, an appointment can then be made to speak with the Headteacher (Mr A Stainsbury).

We will, where possible, arrange meetings with teachers or senior staff within 24 hours.

Please be mindful of how you speak with our staff or other parents - we would like all members of our school community to speak to one another with respect, regardless of their concerns or complaint. See more below:

Positive Parent Partnership Policy

As an academy, we communicate with you via: Telephone calls, Letter, Newsletters, ParentPay, social media and the website. We also hold regular Pupil Progress Pop-ins for you to come into school to view your child's work.
