At Farne Primary School we recognise that working in partnership with parents and carers is central to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Throughout your child’s time at Farne Primary School we will work closely with you to ensure your child has the best start to their learning journey.

We recognise that parents/carers are children’s first and most enduring educators. When parents/carers and practitioners work together in early years’ settings, the results have a positive impact on children’s development and learning. A successful partnership is one which develops a two-way flow of information and knowledge.

Seesaw App

Throughout your child’s time in Nursery and Reception we will be creating an online record of some of your child’s ‘WOW’ moments. A ‘Wow moment’ is when a child achieves something they haven’t previously been able to do. These moments will be shared through the Seesaw app.

We will also post regular updates sharing the different learning opportunities that we have had so that you can talk about these with your child. Parents can also post photos and videos from home too.
