Overview

We are a two-form entry primary school and nursery, within the vibrant and diverse community of Totteridge in High Wycombe. Our school reflects this diversity, and we pride ourselves on an ethos which promotes mutual respect and values every individual.

We place children’s learning and well-being at the centre of all we do and offer a well-resourced and attractive environment in which to learn and grow. 
Our aim is to provide a rich and stimulating, skills-based, curriculum for our children, which promotes aspiration, independence and good citizenship. In this way, we hope to enable every child to achieve their full potential.

Parental Involvement

Parents are always able to make an appointment to see either the class teacher or the Inclusion Manager to discuss their child’s SEND. Parent Consultation Evenings are held twice a year with all parents being invited. Where a child has an EHCP, in preparation for the Annual Review, parents are asked for written feedback prior to the Review meeting.

Family Liaison

As part of the Inclusion Team, the school has a Family Liaison Manager (FLM) whose role it is to support parents of school-aged children. The parents are also directed towards the Buckinghamshire SEND Information, Advice and Support Service, previously known as Parent Partnership. The FLM will support parents with referrals to other outside agencies and attend meetings to support parents, e.g. housing, food banks etc.

Parents as First Teachers

As part of the Inclusion Team, the school also has a member of staff trained in delivering Parents as First Teachers (PaFT). Their role is to support families in their home with developmental topics, encouraging parent-child interaction and promoting family well-being. Parents of children aged 0–5 years are able to access this service. As well as offering home visits, the PAFT worker delivers workshops within the school on a variety of topics.
