Welcome to Heritage Park Primary School
Dear Parents
Welcome to Heritage Park Primary School
On behalf of the staff and governors, I should like to welcome you and introduce you toour school. The staff and I hope that you and your family will have a long and happyassociation with us and we look forward to welcoming your child into school.
I trust that you will find the information in this brochure useful.
It is intended to provide initial information about the school and then to be used for reference.
In addition you will read about various ways in which parents can be involved in the dayto-
day life of the school. This is important for we believe that parents and teachers
should work in partnership if children are to obtain maximum benefit from their school
years.
If you have any questions regarding the information in this brochure or any queries about
the school, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
Mrs K J Hepworth-Lavery
Headteacher

manners

and their learning

individuals, groups and nations
