Parents

Our relationship with you is incredibly important to us. We want to ensure that your child's journey through Hayward's is a happy and productive one, where they create life-long memories to treasure. Working together closely is the best way to ensure that this works well. We do can this in a number of ways - through our day to day interactions, through parents' evenings which take place three times a year, through open afternoons or by phone or email. 

We recognise that there will be times when you have concerns that you would like to discuss. In the first instance, your child's class teacher is the best person to discuss the matter with. Catching your child's teacher after school or leaving a message for them to call you works most effectively.

Mrs Seller and Mrs Bedford, our two Assistant Headteachers, and myself are available on the slope before school and after school and we are very happy to discuss your concerns then or arrange an appointment either directly with us or through the school office. The office can be contacted by phoning (01363) 772970 or emailing; office@haywards.devon.sch.uk. We will be in touch to discuss our concerns as soon as possible.

Please also feel free to let us know the good things and successes by emailing the school office. It is lovely for us to hear about successes both inside and outside of school. 

Parentvoice

We at Hayward’s value what you think.  We want to hear your views on issues that matter to you and your child’s life at school.  We feel that it is important that you have a voice and we would like to give you the opportunity to contribute to the decisions that are made about your child’s learning journey at school.

Mrs Greedy runs the Hayward’s Parent Forum.  This is an opportunity for you to come into school, meet with other parents, share ideas and feedback to us about issues that matter to you.  Parent Forums are solution-focused and take place during and after school hours, once or twice a term, when there is a need for an issue to be discussed.

parentvoice@haywards.devon.sch.uk is an email address for you to send your comments and recommendations to Mrs Greedy.  Here you can make positive suggestions as to how we can improve your child's learning experience at Hayward's.  This is particularly helpful if you are unable to attend a Parent Forum and wish to voice your opinions in a solution-focused manner.
