After a full day verification visit, we are delighted to be awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award for another three years. The award is as an acknowledgement of Orchard’s continuing commitment to ensuring a close partnership with parents which supports and encourages all our pupils to achieve their best.  The assessor’s report commented: ‘Leaders and staff clearly value what a effective parental partnership can contribute to the school. The school encourages parental involvement via a programme of events and opportunities ranging from regular coffee mornings to weekly morning reading sessions in Early Years and Key Stage 1.
