Parent Partnership & Support
Parent partnership
Harris Academy Merton values parents and carers as partners in the development and education of their children.
Parents will be involved in setting targets for Individual Learning Plans (when this is possible) and agreeing their involvement in efforts to meet their child’s learning needs. Individual learning plans will mostly be written by school staff and then shared and agreed with parents.
We warmly encourage you to:
- Attend parents' evening and any additional meetings arranged
- Attend the SEND parent engagement events
- Contact the school over any issues you may have
- Follow us on Twitter and check the school website
- Make regular use of the ‘My Child at School’ App
- Use the ‘Parent Zone’ section of the website for information https://www.harrismerton.org.uk/289/parent-zone
