What is the Parent Forum?

The Parent Forum is a partnership between parents/carers and the school. It is a valuable way to share ideas, views and make suggestions for improvement. 

The aims of the Parent Forum are to:

·         Work together to improve the education provided for our children. 

·         Share information, knowledge and skills.

·         Meet in a mutually supportive environment. 

·         Further improve communications between parent/carers and staff/Local Committee.

Who can be part of the Parent Forum? 

Any parent/carer is welcome to join the Parent Forum. The forum will be chaired by the DHT/AHT or Headteacher and we hope to have at least one representative from each class. Other members of the school community will also attend meetings depending on the agenda items. 

How often do the Parent Forum meet?

The last Thursday of every half-term for an hour, starting at 1.30pm. 

What will be discussed at the meetings?

Anything related to improving the school and further developing the partnership between the school and families. The meetings will be informal and are an opportunity for an open discussion. Minutes of the meetings will be taken and these can be accessed on the school website. 

What cannot be discussed at the meetings?

Concerns or complaints involving individual children, families or members of staff. These issues should be raised with the class teacher, Deputy/Assistant Headteacher or Headteacher confidentially. 

How can I contribute to the work of the Parent Forum?

Once class representative have been chosen we will put their names on our school website so you can approach them to make a suggestion on your behalf or you can email us directly at:
