Our Aims

What are our aims? 

Skipton Girls’ High School aims to establish and promote a close relationship with all parents, in the interests of their children. We recognise that children will feel more secure when they receive consistent messages from both home and school. Parents’ views about our school are welcomed, including the expression of any concerns. At the same time, we aim to inform parents as soon as possible about any issues of concern to the school so that we can cooperate to resolve them. 

What do we do build effective home-school relationships? 

At Skipton Girls’ High School we work closely with parents in order to keep them informed of all aspects of school life. We have: 

• Information to parents on Transition, Curriculum, Home learning 
• our student-parent-school agreement 
• parents’ evenings 
• a full written report once a year for parents about their child 
• attitude to learning and grade reports at least twice a year for parents about their child 
• our half-termly newsletter 
• SGHS Parents in Partnership - a parents focus group which meets regularly 
• communication between home and school via Firefly 
• regular communications from the headteacher 
• school website (www.sghs.org.uk) with information for parents about all school activities 

All Governors’ Policies and procedures, including this one, are permanently available. Furthermore, we ensure that all members of staff joining the school, both teaching and Associate staff, are aware of our policy and the procedure to be followed.
