ISSUES
•do parents want/need so much detail/information?

•do parents understand all the information we provide?

•teacher workload v’s value for parents


    Just reporting information does NOTHING to
                     improve learning!
WHAT IMPROVES LEARNING?
•engagement


•quality programmes and resources


•parental engagement, involvement and support
SO .....?
•what things are useful/informative in what we currently do?


•what could be better about our reporting to parents?


•what is the key information that needs to be in portfiles?


•are there any changes that could improve understanding?
