Wider community

Support for parents

  • DirectGov– the latest and widest range of public service information from the UK Government
  • Parent resources– articles written by practicing teachers designed to help you with your child’s education
  • BBC Parenting– advice for parents of primary aged children

Global community    

Working together

Supporting the Community and Fundraising

As well as continually seeking ways in which the community can support us, we are also looking for ways in which we can support the local, wider and global communities. We are also developing community links through the wider work of the school and the children’s school council. If you have any other suggestions about how we can work more closely with communities, or are a community looking to work with us, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at parent.mail@hwis.hants.sch.uk  

Featured below are some examples of our work this year – please take a look!
