Parents/Carers

'We immediately felt like family, like they were expecting us." - Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) Evaluation Report 2024-25

Parent Partnerships:

Our strong relationships with parents support the children to achieve and make the best progress they can.
Teachers are always willing to discuss ways to improve your child's progress and emotional well being. 
Our effective homework videos which are published on Tapestry each week not only consolidate your child's learning but give you a valuable insight into how your child is taught in school.

The Holtsmere Community Cupboard:

We are very proud to have a Holtsmere Community Cupboard which is situated by the main entrance, next to our pre-loved uniform 'shop'.

All members of our Holtsmere community are welcome to take up to 6 items daily from the cupboard.

The cupboard is open each day from 8.30am to 3.30pm 

Parent and Children's Wellbeing:

Supporting your child’s health and wellbeing

If your child:

• Has difficulty coming into school
• You are worried about their health, behaviour, progress
• They have friendship issues
• Your child is a young carer
• There are difficulties at home which may be having an impact on your child’s wellbeing

Then your child’s class teacher is the best person to speak to and if they are unable to help they will be able to sign post you to people in school or external agencies who can.

Our SENCo may be able to refer your child to the following agencies:

• Speech and Language Team
• CAMHS
• Health visitors
• Young carers
• Living Stable lives
• Links Family Services

If you have spoken to your child’s teacher and you feel that the matter has not been dealt with appropriately then you can speak with Mrs O’Connell our Headteacher who is on the playground each morning or who can be contacted via the school office on 01442 211963 or via email head@holtsmereinfants.herts.sch.uk
