Welcome to the parents and carers section of the Lampard website

At Lampard School, parents and carers are seen as a vital part of the team supporting each child in their education and working towards the goals that are set up for each individual student. The student is at the centre of everything the school does and the student and their family/carers are encouraged to take an active part in planning the student’s goals, both academic and personal, and also in celebrating achievements.

The parent governors work with the other governors, to support the school in its drive to continue to improve provision and raise standards. The governing body is fully committed to the school and the development of the SEN provision in North Devon.

To ensure that communication works there is a home/school book that students are encouraged to bring with them every day – parents and staff can use this to send quick notes or messages to and fro. It is also possible to email the class teacher with specific enquiries. Phone calls can be made but please don't expect a call back during class time as the teacher is busy teaching! They will aim to respond to messages at the end of each day, this may be after staff meetings / training.

Parents can support their children by ensuring they attend school every day, wear the correct uniform, and follow the rules around not wearing makeup or jewellery, not dyeing hair etc. When everyone works together to follow the rules, a sense of community is fostered.

The school has three PLG parents' evenings during the year when parents can discuss their child’s progress towards their EHCP targets with their tutor. There is also an Annual Review meeting each year and an academic progress meeting in July. The school will hold events which celebrate student achievements and special performances.

Staff and families work together to help the student become as independent as possible in their daily school life, including on day visits and residential trips.

“Friends of Lampard” is group of parents who support the school. They have worked very hard to help us fundraise for a variety of enrichment items and are keen to organise social events for parents and families.

Please see the Friends of Lampard section of the website for more information.

We welcome all parents who would like to get involved and look forward to meeting you at their events.
