At Intake Academy, we believe that strong, positive partnerships with parents and carers are essential to ensuring every child can thrive. When home and school work together, children feel supported, valued, and are more confident in their learning.
We encourage parents to be actively involved in every aspect of school life. Whether you’re supporting with reading at home, attending parent workshops, school events, or staying connected through regular communication, your involvement makes a big difference. We believe in open, honest relationships where we can work together to give each child the best possible start.
There are many meaningful ways you can support your child’s learning at home, such as:
- Talking with them about their day and what they’ve learned
- Reading together regularly and encouraging a love of books
- Practising key skills like times tables or spelling
- Supporting routines like good sleep, healthy eating, and punctuality
- Encouraging a positive attitude towards school and learning
We also understand that family life can sometimes be challenging. At Intake Academy, we are here to offer support and advice. Our pastoral team is always happy to help or signpost you to external services.
Extra support available to families may include:
- Help with attendance, routines, or behaviour
- Signposting to local family and wellbeing services
- Free school meal applications and support with school uniform
- Access to parent workshops or courses
- Advice on online safety and managing screen time
- Emotional or mental health support for children and families
Together, we can build a nurturing, high-achieving school community where children grow with confidence and resilience – supported by both their families and their school every step of the way.
