Education consultant Edward Gildea helps Holden Lane High School, Stoke-on-Trent, improve its communication with parents, in this parents-and-community video for teachers.
Parents and schools need to communicate well with each other, and Edward asks whether the traditional methods of parents' evenings, newsletters and school reports are as effective as they could be.
With the increasing time pressure on both parents and schools, it's important that any contact between the two is as effective as possible. At Edward's prompting, Holden Lane tries new and different ways of communicating with parents.
