Information for Parents
We value your support for your child’s flourishing at University of Birmingham School.

Supporting home learning
We are grateful to parents and carers for supporting pupils and students in getting into good learning habits. Good learning habits include making time to read every day for 20 minutes, spending between 30-60 minutes on home learning tasks (for Year 7-9), and encouraging your child to make time to have a break and relax! All homework is recorded on Class Charts, for which both parents, carers, and pupils have an account. On here, you can see all homework for your child, along with issue and due dates.

Being well together…
All of us can feel overwhelmed at times. Looking after ourselves physically can not only benefit our bodies and make us healthier, it can also have a great impact upon our mental wellbeing.
Our health and wellbeing page has an number of resources sharing ways in which we can all stay active and healthy – with information for pupils, students and a dedicated ‘parent/carer corner.’

The Friends of University of Birmingham School is the School’s PTA and is open to all parents and carers of pupils and students at UoB School, as well as all staff. Our aim is to create a cooperative environment for events and activities for the entire School community.
The Friends would love to hear from parents and carers who may be interested in getting involved with the group. Please email the group at friends@uobschool.org.uk or find us on Facebook.
