Parents

At Alzahra Academy, we recognise that parents and carers play a central role in a child’s education, development and wellbeing.

Our aim is to build a strong partnership between home and school, where families are informed, respected and actively involved in supporting their child’s learning journey.

As a new primary school opening in 2027, Alzahra Academy is committed to establishing clear communication, practical support and strong relationships with families from the very beginning.

Partnering with Families

We believe that students thrive when parents, carers and teachers work together. Our approach to parent partnership is built on:

We aim to keep families informed about school matters, student progress, events, policies and important updates.

Shared Responsibility

Parents and carers are important partners in supporting attendance, learning, behaviour, wellbeing and school values

Respectful Relationships

We expect communication between families and the school to be respectful, constructive and focused on the best interests of students.
