In this episode, Jen, Francis, and returning guest Sophia explore the often-overlooked power of teacher-parent communication. From the nerves of a first parents’ evening to the joy of a handwritten postcard home, they reflect on how positive partnerships with carers and families can transform the classroom experience.

Expect thoughtful insights, practical tips, and a few laughs as they share what they’ve learned on the journey from trainee to trusted adult.

💬 Topics include:

– Making parents’ evenings work for everyone

– Why communication is part of inclusive practice

– Creating a culture of trust through praise and presence

This one’s for anyone building their teacher identity and looking to connect more meaningfully with the people behind the pupils.
