Communication
Effective two-way communication between school and families is a key function to the successful running of our school. Below, we summerise the ways in which we communicate important information to our families, and how we ask families to communicate important information back to us.

Additional Information: Emails: Our school's chosen method of communication is via the school management information system (Integris). Parents and carers should make the school aware if they are not receiving school emails or stop receiving them. Tapestry: Tapestry is an online learning journal which we use to communicate with families of children in early years. Website translation: Our website has a 'translate' button on the homepage which may be usual for families where English is not the first language. Social Media: Our Facebook web address is: https://www.facebook.com/stfrancisceprimaryoxford |
