See the Class Teacher
Parents’ evenings take place once per term, which are a good way of keeping up to date with your child’s progress. We encourage parents to keep in contact with the school as much as possible. Class teachers are nearly always available for a moment or two at the beginning and end of school day, however it is also possible to arrange an appointment at a mutually agreed time for longer or confidential discussions. Appointments can be made directly with the class teacher or through the school office.
See the Head Teacher
As well as seeing to the class teacher, appointments can also be made for you to see the Head Teacher, Mrs Hayes-Jones at a mutually agreed time.
In writing
If you’ve got some feedback for us, you can always put it in writing and hand it into the school office. Alternatively you can send us an e-mail at admin@hollyfast.coventry.sch.uk
Mrs Hayes-Jones also sends out an annual parent questionnaire, this is another way you can let us know what you think!
Parent View
Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about Hollyfast. It will ask you about several aspects of the school including quality of teaching and learning to behaviour. Ofsted will then use your answers to help them decide which schools to inspect and when. Please remember if your feedback is specific to your own child, it may be better to see a member of staff in the first instance, who will be able to respond and resolve the situation quickly.
Parent View is accessible from the link below
Communication to Parents
There are many ways in which we communicate with parents...

Often, important information and answers to queries are published in these communications, so look out for them! In addition all letters that are sent home, including the newsletter, are uploaded onto the ‘News and Events' page of the school website.
Complaints
Should you feel that an issue/concern has not been dealt with in a satisfactory manner through the methods above; parents are encouraged to put their views in writing and address it to the Chair of Governors. This will then be discussed by a Governing Body panel and a response will be given.
