Parent Forum

A school parent forum is a platform that allows parents and carers to engage with the school community, share their views, and contribute to the decision-making process. Here are some key aspects of a school parent forum:

Purpose

• Communication: Facilitate open and transparent communication between parents, carers, and the school.
• Feedback: Provide a space for parents to give feedback on school policies, practices, and initiatives.
• Involvement: Encourage parental involvement in school activities and decision-making processes.

Structure

• Meetings: Regularly scheduled meetings, often held once a term or as needed.
• Participants: Typically includes parents, carers, school leadership, and sometimes teachers or governors.
• Agenda: Topics for discussion may include school policies, curriculum changes, upcoming events, and any concerns or suggestions from parents.

Benefits

• Collaboration: Strengthens the partnership between the school and families, fostering a sense of community.
• Improvement: Helps the school identify areas for improvement based on parental feedback.
• Support: Provides parents with a better understanding of school operations and how they can support their child’s education.

Overall, a school parent forum is a valuable tool for enhancing communication, collaboration, and community involvement, ultimately contributing to a positive and supportive educational environment for students.

The meeting notes and any accompanying presentations will be uploaded on this page, for future reference.
