Home Visit Programme

Text

At Brooklands, we run home visits every year for all children from Nursery to Year 6. This is a chance for teachers to get to know every child individually, and to start forming a relationship with the child and family before they start the year. It is also a great opportunity for parents to ask individual questions about what to expect in the upcoming year, or share anything they feel is important with the class teacher.  

It is well recognised that a strong relationship between families and school provides the best possible support for every child. The Education Endowment Foundation is the UK’s leading education research organisation. Their most recent report on parent engagement suggests that effective parent engagement can lead to learning gains of 3 months over the course of a year. This makes effective parent engagement a key element of successfully supporting every child to thrive, our vision for every child in a Maritime school. 

We have been running our home visit programme across Maritime schools since September 2022. We receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers, parents and children. If you have any questions please do have a look at our FAQs below, or get in touch with us.
