Sharing Mornings

Sharing Morning at Harpenden Academy

Sharing Mornings are held in the last week of each half term and are an opportunity for parents to come in to school from 8.30am-9.00am to look at the children’s books and to find out about their children’s learning over the half term. Parents also have the chance to discuss different aspects of learning with the class teacher and the TAs. These mornings allow the children to share their love of learning with their parents and also give the parents insight to the classroom environment.
