Parental Support

At Acton we know that learning is a partnership and that the best results are achieved when the school, parents and carers work together to ensure that your children - our students - are able to thrive and achieve well.

We expect you to work with us in our approach to smart uniform and courteous behaviour. We ask for your support in assisting your child to develop regular study habits by providing a quiet space for them to work - or by encouraging the use of after school facilities - and by monitoring the student planner and alerting us to any concerns about homework.

We positively welcome parental feedback - particularly when it alerts us to things that are not going well or to areas where we can work with you or provide information that helps you support your child's learning more effectively.

Ealing has just published a directory of all the Supplementary Schools in Ealing

‘Supplementary' or ‘Saturday schools' cover a variety of organisations that offer classes to children outside of the traditional educational system. These organisations range in size from small groups operating from one room to large organisations that use a number of fully equipped school rooms. These schools are operated by parents or teachers, some of whom currently teach in mainstream schools, or who have been teachers in their country before arriving in the UK. Equally, professionals from the business, academic or scientific field give their time to support children from their community.

These schools support mainstream education by providing assistance with national curriculum subjects - largely, English, maths, science and languages. They also promote children's cultural identity through mother-tongue classes, dance, sports or educational trips. Some schools also provide a variety of family support in the form of ESOL classes, classes on understanding the British education system as well as activities for the elderly.
