There have been some challenges at ds1's school in recent years inc some v poor SATS results. A new head came in 2 years ago but the current year 6 are not on target to achieve more than last year's so we are still facing some difficult times. This is compounded by a high staff turnover etc.
Currently, the school has a weekly newsletter and teachers, inc the Head are good at meeting on a one to one basis with parents, if requested. However, it feels like there is something missing. The school was criticised for not responding to its position in the local league tables (bottom) and it feels to me that they could be a bit more proactive in communicating with parents to acknowledge concerns and outline strategies in place.
How does your school communicate with you and do any of you have any suggestions about what might be useful? I know what we would do at work but recognise that schools are different and this is a new area for me!
Many thanks in advance if you are able to respond.

How does your school communicate with you? Especially around the trickier stuff?
