Parents
Communication
Effective communication builds understanding and trust. This is why effective communication is key to establishing and maintaining positive partnerships with parents. We use a wide variety of communication tools to keep every informed.
Leadership Update: this communication is a weekly update from the leadership team which covers upcoming events and will be sent out every Monday.
Monthly Newsletter: this will be uploaded onto the website monthly.
Special Edition Newsletters: you will receive one newsletter a year from each subject coordinator that will be uploaded onto the website every half-term.
Safeguarding Newsletter: this will be uploaded onto the website every term.
Parent Evening: You will get the chance to talk to your child’s class teacher formally about their progress and wellbeing at the parent’s evening in the autumn. Parents are able to book an appointment using our online booking system.
Written Report: you will have two written reports a year. One will be in the spring and one at the end of the academic year which will tell you how your child is working against age related expectations.
Email: if you have any questions regarding classwork, you are welcome to email the class teacher direct:

Our website: we take a great deal of pride in our school website. It is a key tool in effective home-school communication. We upload all the communication listed above on to our school website (www.stillnessjs.lewisham.sch.uk). We hope you find it clear and easy to navigate so you can find key information quickly. It includes guidance for many common queries including school dates, policies, breakfast and after school clubs and all communication sent out via the office. We have added a “Don’t forget” box at the bottom of the front page for weekly year group updates.
Instagram: this is a good way of seeing the learning and activities going on in school. With over 300 followers we are going from strength to strength!
Informal Communications: we really value simple face to face communication and for this reason, you will always find a member of staff on the gate in the morning, including members of the Leadership Team.
