Communication with Parents\Carers

We want every child at The Pingle Academy to be happy and to succeed.  In order for that to happen, we wish to maintain a healthy and collaborative relationship with parents/carers.  Communication from the academy to parent/carers is extremely important to us and is set out in our Home-School Communication Charter.
