General Information
Effective Communication with Parents
Ripon Grammar School believes that working with parents is of paramount
importance to the child's educational success.
The school places a high value on the
triangular relationship between parents,
student and staff. We hope that parents
will get to know the school and the staff
who are responsible for the education
of their son or daughter. Effective
communication between parents and
school is essential to ensure the safety,
well-being, motivation and all-round
development of each student.
We ask you, as parents, to support your
son or daughter’s learning by providing
guidance and encouragement and
somewhere for them to study at home.
In addition to our formal reporting
procedures we maintain contact with
parents in a variety of ways:
- Every student receives two reports
during the course of each academic year.
A full written report is normally issued
after school examinations, which are
held in the summer term for most year
groups. A brief report is usually issued
earlier in the year, giving an indication
of each student’s effort and progress.
- A Parents’ Evening is arranged for each
year group once per year and parents
may also consult members of the staff
by arrangement at other times.
- There is a Home/School agreement to
ensure that parents and staff work
together to encourage the best possible
development of each student.
- Parents wishing to discuss any matter
concerning their child can contact
the school by telephone or e-mail.
- The many successes of the school
are regularly reported in local and
national press.
- Ripon Grammar maintains links with
parents via a termly newsletter from
the Headmaster.
- ‘RGS News’, our termly magazine is
brought home by students at the end
of each term.
- The school website.
- Our active and supportive Parents’ Association works with
the school very closely.
- There is informal contact at school
events such as plays, concerts and
sporting fixtures.
