Visiting a school


In the classroom

It may be helpful to ask:

  • how the structure and timetable of the day and the teaching and learning in class will meet your child’s needs
  • how the individual needs of children are met throughout the school day, for example, lunch and breaks
  • whether there are particular areas of expertise or provision in school, for example, social communication groups, literacy support, circle of friends
  • what arrangements there are for you, as a parent, to discuss your child’s progress and contribute to target setting and planning, learning opportunities, including homework
  • whether your child would have to miss the same lessons or subjects to regularly work with any visiting professionals
