The staff at Ysgol Robert Owen value close liaison with our families and wider community. We believe this is in the best interest of the pupils and community as a whole.
Families are welcome to discuss any issues and to use the daily Communication Systems to maintain close contact with their child’s class teacher and the school.
We hold regular Parents Evenings to discuss the progress of pupils and families can also meet with or contact their child’s class teacher to discuss their child’s progress at any time by prior arrangement.
Annual Reviews of pupils’ IDPs are held each year, and these will be combined with your child’s Care & Support meeting to ensure all stakeholders are fully informed and engaged in supporting your child effectively.
Annual Pupil reports are sent to families in the Summer Term.
We value the support and involvement of our parents, carers and their families, in the form of:
- Keeping in touch with class teachers via the school’s Communication system, emails and phone calls
- Attending Annual Review of IEP meetings
- Attending Parents’ Evenings
- Attending termly Ysgol Robert Owen Family Get Together meetings where families can access information sharing meetings and training workshops
- Supporting The Parents and Friends of Ysgol Robert Owen charity
- Always commenting in a positive manner on social media and in the wider community regarding the school, we value discussing concerns and or grievances.

The Parents & Friends of Ysgol Robert Owen Special School
The Parents & Friends of Ysgol Robert Owen Special School organisation is a registered charity. By having a child at the school, you automatically become a member. The Parents & Friends organise fund raising and social events.
We hope that as many parents and carers as possible will actively support these events, which not only raise money for pupils at the school but also provide an excellent way to meet new friends for companionship and mutual support.
Through the work of The Parents & Friends, our children have benefited from:
- New Books in the Library
- School external visits
- Christmas and end of year parties
- A range of other resources

We have introduced many new ways of contacting our parents this academic year, to try and make it as accessible for everyone as we can. You can sign up for our new communication platform GroupEd to receive emails or notifications through the app, and to contact the school to notify us of an absence or when your child is off school unwell. We also have a new Facebook page to keep you up to date and share good news stories with you all.
Please enquire regarding your GroupEd login at school reception, with your class teacher or via the “Contact Us” form. This is learner specific so we will send you the details you require.
