Pupils making FAST progress
Learning together
Participants in a new home/school partnership project acted FAST to make it a success.
St Paul’s Primary School and Nursery Centre, Holy Cross High and a number of local families worked on the FAST – Families And Schools Together – initiative.
It saw families with children ranging from nursery age to S3 work together on a number of events.
The aim of the programme was to increase parental engagement by building positive relationships with parents/carers and to model quality family time.
This included a visit to the Glasgow Science Centre, an oldfashioned games afternoon, a picnic in the park as well as many other exciting family fun activities.
Parents then received a FAST pass to collect a sticker each time they attended a nursery or school event to track engagement and entry into a family prize draw.
A spokesperson for the project said: “The programme was evaluated by all participants positively in engaging with the whole family.
“This has helped to raise attainment and develop positive, trusting relationships between families and staff. We look forward to running the FAST programme again next session.”
