We want Parents to play a central role in our school. We launched a forum in Autumn of 2022 to enable a platform for interaction. Parent forum is the opportunity for parents to have a regular voice at our school. It is a meeting where staff and parents can communicate, collaborate and feedback in an environment which is respectful both ways. As a group we discussed and set out the following criteria for how we wish to interact as part of maintaining a succesful group forum. 

The forum is child focused and everyone in attendance is valued, trusted and honest. The group do not focus on individual or specific areas or issues. No pupil or staff names are mentioned in a negative capacity. The forum is a strategic group which offers creative thinking for the school and doesn't mind taking risks to generate school improvements for the benefit of our children.

I am pleased to share with you all the dates for Parent Forums for the rest of the year below. It is hoped that with providing a range of days and times, this will allow everyone the opportunity to attend and support this group at some point across the year. A Parentmail will be sent out as a reminder of these meetings with a form to fill in regarding your attendance. All Parent Forums can be attended virtually (via a link sent out closer to the time) or in person.
