Support

At Tidemill we feel a strong link between home and school is critical to a child’s education and expect all of our parents to come in to regular parent meetings and coffee mornings. We run a workshops to show parents how they can support their child’s learning and the teachers are always happy to meet with parents before/after school to discuss any concerns. We also have a Family Liaison Officer who is there to offer support and guidance. If you would like to discuss any problems, please do contact Lisa Turner to arrange a time to come in to school for a chat or call her on 0208 305 8981.

Parents Association

All parents, governors, teaching and non-teaching staff are automatically members of the Tidemill Parents Association. The Parents Association gets involved with the organisation of our events such as International Evening, the Christmas Fayre and Summer Fete. The funds raised at these events are used to help provide additional resources for the education of your children. By supporting the P.A. you can make a valued contribution to your child's education.

If you are interested in getting involved in organising events or fundraising, please do let the school office know so we can keep you informed about the dates of the next meeting.

Volunteering

At Tidemill we are always happy to have parents come into school to spend time working with the children in class and we have a number of parents who work regularly in the school as volunteers – either in class or running after school clubs. If you are interested in getting involved in the life of the school, please come in to see Rachel Bowern, our Assistant Head and Inclusion Manager.

At the Heart of the Community

We are keen to ensure that the school is at the heart of the community – with the school becoming a resource that can be used 365 days a year for community events, sports activities and family learning classes. We are also keen for our pupils to undertake community projects and are always keen to get involved in local regeneration activities that will help the children to develop their environmental awareness whilst also using their leadership, creative, artistic and writing skills. Please do let us know if you have any projects in mind.
