Parental Engagement

Involvement in your child’s learning is actively promoted at Woodside Academy. In Nursery and Reception, each half term parents and carers are invited to open mornings where you will have the chance to ‘stay and play’ with your child, find out about their learning and complete fun activities with them. Staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have.

MarvellousMe tells you about the wonderful things that your child is learning, and pings you when they’ve been praised for good work, a great character skill, or received school rewards. It makes you smile, feel proud, and inspires better home learning support and encouragement. Plus, it helps you to stay on top of homework, events and other school tasks.

We value your contributions and love to hear about all the things they have been learning at home. Share these observations with us by completing a ‘Proud Moment’ postcard, which are always available. Please just ask and we will be happy to give you them whenever you would like one. On the ‘Proud Moment’ postcard you can write anything that your child has done at home which makes you proud or happy. This could include learning to zip up their coat, riding their bike, or reading by themselves.
