Communicating with Plymstock School
Home-School Communication
We ensure good communication with parents and carers through the use of:
- MyEd App
- Satchel One
- Our school website
- The school news blog
- Truancy Call
- Your child’s exercise books
- Progress reports
- Parent Information Evenings
- Subject Parents’ Evenings

A parent/carer should:
- Be aware of the different ways in which they can contact the school i.e. telephone, MyEd, letter or email
- Ensure that their contact details are kept updated (including changes to mobile phone numbers, work numbers and home email addresses)
- Regularly check the website for term dates and general information
- Be clear about which member of staff they need to contact regarding their concern;
- Let staff know in advance if they cannot attend a pre-arranged meeting
- Always report to reception when arriving on the school site.
- Be contacted by the relevant member of staff within a reasonable length of time (within three working days) depending on the nature of the concern or query.
