The Parent's Forum was set up in December 2020 to provide an additional space for parents and carers to have the opportunity to feedback on school provision, offer a parent/carer perspective on current policy and share ideas about future projects.

A message from our Chair: I'm Charlotte Downing a Community Governor and chair of the Parent's Forum. The Parent's Forum meets once every half term for an hour (max) on Teams and provides our parent community an opportunity to engage with school staff in a relaxed and informal setting. We discuss several different topics each time from behavior policy and communication to enrichment activities and fund raising via our pre-loved uniform shop. This is not a version of a primary PTA, we won't sign you up for running a tombola or facepainting, we just welcome your voice and input into how we can continue to improve our school and enrich the education of our young people. If you are unable to attend, you can still have your say. A survey is sent out each half term asking for your feedback and suggestions, these survey results are reviewed and fed into the Parent's Forum agenda. Why not come along and see what it’s all about! |
Some of our achievements:
- A second uniform supplier
- The selling of pre-loved uniform
- Discussion on supporting less able students
- Dsicussion on raising student aspirations
- Our very own facebook page
We have a parent who is kindly going to lead on fundraising – we’d love some more volunteers and more parents on the committee.To join the Forum, volunteer for fundraising, or suggest a theme for a future meeting, email:
