FACE

Facilitator to Access information to Communicate Effectively with Parents/Carers

In order to uphold a key aspect of our Curnow School mission statement (‘Uniting parents and Professionals’) Curnow School has established the FACE Team. This team is an integral part of the school working closely with parents, carers and multi-agency teams on a daily basis; through their work they assist the school in aspects of the self - evaluation process providing reports/data to the Senior Leadership Team and the Governors. Additionally they help develop/implement action plans by working alongside the Head, Deputy and Governors and most importantly parents/carers.

The FACE Team therefore helps the school uphold the aims of our mission statement through associated roles and responsibilities; these include:

Informing prospective parents of the school’s offer; signposting additional county provision /Local Offer as required
Signposting parents to specific resources/provision which offer additional support to families
Supporting the transition process for all pupils new to the school
Facilitating the transition process by gathering/sharing information from parents/external agencies
Organising resources required to support transition into school (e.g. – ‘welcome to your class’ portfolios)
Obtaining parental views with the aim of reinforcing positive practice and informing new/ improved provision
