ot on the heels of the national call to action for grandparents to become more involved with schools, St Mary’s Junior School, Cambridge welcomed families into the school for its annual
grandparents’ afternoon recently. Data shows that the amount of childcare provided by
UK grandparents and their impact on the lives of their grandchildren is continuing to increase, a trend witnessed by St Mary’s among its own children. Chris Hald, head of juniors, said: “Grandparents are
playing an increasingly important role in modern family life and are often involved with looking after children while parents are at work. They have so much knowledge and life experience to impart and their involvement with school life should always be encouraged. “Each year our pupils look forward to showing their
grandparents around their school and showcasing their great work. Our girls gain confi dence from seeing their families take an active interest in the school and, consequently, we benefi t from the involvement of a vibrant and friendly family community.” iE
Pupils at St Mary’s Junior School in Cambridge invited their grandparents to visit the school for a special afternoon event
