Newsletters - with Have Your Say feedback
Parent View questionnaires
Annually, we ask parents to complete a Parent View questionnaire. This provides an overview of our school. The results of Summer 2022 Parent View will be published here.
Parent Consultations
We have termly parent consultations in person on school site which time slots are allocated on request through our MIS system. Alongside this we send termly reports outlining attainment, progress, behaviour for learning and attendance.
Parental representation on governing body
We have two parent governors (as listed on the governors page). Their role is:
- To bring a parental perspective to the issues discussed – they are not there to speak 'on behalf' of the parent body
- No different from those of other governors
Note: parents are elected to the board, not appointed (unless there are fewer candidates than vacancies).
Parent governors are on the board to communicate a parent's perspective. They are not there to speak on behalf of parents but to help the board understand a parent's viewpoint. This will help the board make good decisions and maintain a link between governance and the parent community.
To support parent governors, please remember that they are not there to:
- Speak on your behalf
- Bring up individual issues in meetings
- Solve problems for you
If you have any issues, please either use the Have Your Say, Meet the Head forum, call the school directly, email or book an appointment with the appropriate member of staff.
