Parent Partnership

Parent Partnership 

At The British School in Gothenburg, we believe that education is most successful when built on a strong partnership between school and home. Parents are not just stakeholders—they are collaborators whose involvement plays a vital role in a child’s academic, emotional, and social development. Our commitment to fostering this partnership is a defining feature of our educational philosophy.

A Collaborative Educational Journey

We view parents as co-educators who contribute significantly to their child’s learning experience. From early years through Sixth Form, we encourage active parental participation to support student progress, personal growth, and well-being. When schools and families work together, students flourish academically and become more confident, motivated learners.

Close Communication

Effective communication is essential to building trust and ensuring a successful school-home relationship. At BSG, we prioritise openness, consistency, and accessibility. Our communication approach includes:

• Regular parent-teacher consultations to provide personal insight into student progress and development.

• Termly academic reports that outline strengths, areas for improvement, and future targets.

• An open-door policy that ensures parents feel welcome to engage with teaching and leadership staff at any time.

• Weekly newsletters and digital bulletins designed to keep families informed and connected to school life.

This system of communication fosters a culture of transparency and shared responsibility.

Parent Council

Our active Parent Council is an integral part of our school community. Comprising dedicated volunteers, the council serves as a liaison between parents and the school leadership, promoting dialogue and building strong, supportive relationships.

The goals of the Parent Council are to:

• Engage families in the life of the school and the education of their children.

• Serve as a voice for parents in key discussions with leadership.

• Plan and support a calendar of events that enrich school life, from cultural celebrations to charitable initiatives.

• Build a welcoming community for new and returning families alike.

This group is a dynamic force for positive change and community building, and their contributions are deeply valued.

A United Community

At BSG, we believe that strong partnerships with families are central to our success. When parents and educators collaborate effectively, students benefit from a consistent, nurturing environment that supports both academic achievement and character development.

Together, we create a vibrant and inclusive school culture—one that values trust, respects diversity, and puts student well-being at its core.
