PARENTS' FORUM

The Parents’ Forum meets once a term and is open to any interested parents or carers.  It was set up to provide parents with an opportunity to discuss educational issues and to improve consultation with both parents and carers.  Agenda items may be suggested by parents or school in advance of the meetings and this ensures that we reflect the issues that are of interest to both parties.

The meetings are quite informal but are minuted. These minutes are available on the web site.  We have discussed a wide range of issues:
