At Langar Church of England Primary School, we value the friendships and sense of community that develop between our families. Indeed, our focus on community is one of the many things that our families praise about their involvement with the school. Parent WhatsApp groups can be a wonderful way to stay connected, share reminders, arrange playdates and help one another through the busy school week.

These groups are organised independently by parents and are not managed or monitored by the school. Official school information will always be shared through our usual communication channels.

We simply ask that everyone uses these groups in the spirit of our school values: Love, Thoughtfulness, Fairness, Respect, Gratitude and Take Care. 

A few friendly reminders:

• Be kind and considerate. Written messages can sometimes be misunderstood, so always assume the best of one another.

• Respect everyone's privacy. Please don't share photographs, screenshots or personal information about other children or families without permission.

• Avoid discussing individual children, parents or members of staff in group conversations.

• If something about school is worrying you, please speak directly to us. We would always rather have the opportunity to listen, explain or put something right than have concerns grow through speculation.

• Remember that not every parent will be part of a WhatsApp group, so please don't rely on these groups for important school information.

We know that our parents care enormously about Langar and one another. These groups work best when they reflect the same kindness, respect and sense of belonging that we encourage in our children every day.

If you have a concern about inappropriate behaviour or a safeguarding matter, please contact the headteacher confidentially at head@langar.notts.sch.uk.
