Parental Engagement Statement
At Queensmead we both support and encourage parents to feel involved and informed about their child’s education. We feel that there should be a healthy partnership between home and school with children at the centre of everything we do.
We aim to provide a warm and welcoming environment for our families so that parents feel able to approach school with any issues, concerns or comments and feel both welcome and comfortable on site.
