Welcome to Mather Street Primary School, Failsworth, federated with Yew Tree Community School, Chadderton. You and your child are very important to us and the information available Here you will find will help us to work together so that your child can learn to the best of his/her ability.
Every term there will be an opportunity for you to talk to your child's teacher, you will have a newsletter every half term about what your child will be learning and there will be homework challenges, assemblies and various events which you can join in with.
If you have any worries, it is always best if you have a chat with your child's teacher first because s/he will know your child best. We do ask though for you to do this at the end of the day because our day always starts with reading. Miss Pitt can arrange a telephone call for you if the end of the day is not convenient.
Sometimes, you may feel your child's teacher can't give you enough information, if this is so, Miss Pitt can arrange for you to have an appointment with me or Mrs Brown(Head of School).
