How we like to work with families.
We have over 1000 parents connected with the school and we try as much as possible to meet everyone as quickly as possible. We try and find a private space for you to speak about your concern. Sometimes we might need another professional to give another perspective or expertise. We want an equitable relationship with families where we respect the information you provide and we share how we work. This works best when our staff are treated respectfully, calmly and not in an aggressive manner.
I want to talk to someone about my child’s learning and well-being.
In the first instance, it is important to have a discussion with the class teacher. They are really happy to listen to your views, find out what you know and share how we are working with your child at school. The best time for class teachers is after school. Please ask the office for an appointment with the teacher and we will make an appointment that gives both you and the teacher enough time to discuss it in depth.
I want to talk about an absence, attendance or punctuality.
We have an attendance officer, Miss Jaime Archer, that will support any of your concerns around attendance. You may contact her at school by calling the school number.
She will be available to talk to you about attendance if your child is struggling to come to school. She can provide you with ideas and support to ensure your child gets a really good education through good attendance and punctuality.
I want to talk about my child’s special needs (learning, medical, physical or mental well-being).
You may wish to talk with the class teacher or the Lead Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinator (SENDCO), Miss Katie Colthurst. The office will be able to make an appointment for you and Miss Colthurst to meet.
I want to talk about paying for school lunches, trips, visits, uniform.
The school office has payment plans and details of free school meals, etc. Please pop in, call us or email us with your query.
We have a hardship fund for families in need for uniform. Please contact the welfare team (linda.poore@pegasusprimary.org) if this applies to you.
I want to talk to someone about a safeguarding matter (if you’re worried about a child’s safety).
We have a number of trained safeguarding leads at Pegasus. We work as a team to ensure all matters related to the safeguarding of our whole community are addressed and supported through a mulit-agency approach.
In the reception you will see they are displayed with photos that will help you identify them.
If you have a concern that you wish to share with someone, please speak with the school office initally and they will pass you on to the relevant person. Different concerns can sometimes mean different professionals.
