From Pastoral Care Co-Ordinator Primary

Parent involvement in children’s education is highly valued and is key to children’s academic and social success. Studies have shown that children who have parents and carers who are actively involved in their education tend to have better academic outcomes, increased motivation, and improved behaviour in school. This is because when parents and carers take an active interest in their child's education, they create an environment that supports learning and development. 

At Lumen, we strive to foster a close partnership between parents, carers, and the school community. We believe that it's essential to create opportunities for parents and carers to get involved in school life. This term, we have events such as the Mothers Day Breakfast, Grandparents and Friends Day and Open Day which provide some of those opportunities to come and see what is happening in the classrooms and to share your child’s learning and success. 

Another opportunity we have scheduled this term are the two Primary Assemblies that will be held at 12:10pm in the LCCC Hall on Wednesday the 10 of May and Wednesday, 14 June. Our House Captains run these assemblies and lead the way, with teachers presenting students with any bronze, silver and gold awards earnt for outstanding learning and behaviour. Assemblies are a crucial part of our school's culture, and we believe that they play an essential role in helping to create a sense of community and foster a shared sense of purpose and identity. 

We encourage all parents and carers to attend our primary school assemblies and to get involved in school life in any way that they can. Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in our school community.
