PARENT COUNCIL

The Parent Council is made up of a representative from each class in the Infant school and it meets half termly with a senior member of staff in the school. The aim is to further improve communication between the staff and parents both ways, with benefit to the children and their experiences of school and learning. The more we keep channels of communication open the more we reach successful decisions which are agreed and understood by all.

Minutes of the meeting are shared via the class representatives and on this website. Your class representative for this year is shown below and they are happy to discuss the outcome of meetings with you.

If you have a question or item you wish to have raised please speak to them. Items should be of general interest and not be a single query regarding yourself or your child. Feel free to tell us the things we are doing well as well as suggestions for improvements.
