Parent Information
Wold Academy recognises the important role that parents play in the education of their children.
We see the educational experience as a partnership between home and the academy.
Parents are encouraged to attend meetings, assemblies and other school events and to come into the classrooms as reading volunteers. Our monthly newsletter is full of useful information and make sure to check the school website regularly to keep yourself informed.
Parents are always welcome in school either to visit or to talk through matters that may be causing concern. The Principal and Vice Principal are available on a daily basis as are class teachers, outside of their teaching commitment. To comply with fire and security regulations, parents are asked to make initial enquiries at the school office.
