General Support for Parents and Carers

At Bevington Primary School, we recognise that strong partnerships with families are essential to children’s success. We are committed to working alongside you and ensuring that you have access to the support, information and services you may need at different times. Below are a range of resources and contacts available to all our parents and carers.

Supporting Your Child’s Learning

Helping your child at home can make a real difference to their progress. Each term, we provide Curriculum Overviews and Knowledge Organisers which outline key topics, vocabulary and skills. You can find these on our Curriculum page.

Useful websites to support learning at home:

• Oxford Owl – Free eBooks and reading tips (https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk)
• BBC Bitesize – Educational videos, games and activities (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/primary)
• White Rose Maths – Home learning resources matched to our maths curriculum (https://whiterosemaths.com/parent-resources)

Unplanned School Closure and Remote Learning: 

There may be rare occasions when Bevington Primary School must close unexpectedly and without prior notice. Should this ever happen, we will inform all members of our school community as quickly as possible.

In the event of an unplanned closure, parents and carers will be notified by text and email. A prominent update will also be displayed on the homepage of our school website. We will continue to provide regular updates throughout.

If the school is required to close, pupils will be set learning tasks via Tapestry in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Google Classroom for children in Years 1 to 6. All pupils also have Home Learning Books to support them with independent tasks at home.

To ensure we can always reach you, please ensure your contact details are up to date. You can do this by contacting the school office directly.
