Communication between the Governing Body and Parents
The Governing Body wants to communicate with parents as effectively as possible.
Parent Governors: Parent governors represent the interests of parents. If you have an issue that you would like the Governing Body to discuss, you can raise this with one of the parent governors in the first instance (note that any complaints should be directed to the Headteacher and not to Parent Governors).
Formal Meetings on request: Parents can request up to three formal meetings with the Governing body per year (see the council’s website for information or email the Chair of the Board of Governors for advice on the formal process).
Annual Meeting with Parents: Following the very constructive meeting held at the school on 27th June 2018 it was decided that the Chair of Governors will organize an annual meeting during the summer term to present a report and discuss the school’s progress with parents.
Annual Report: In addition to face-to-face meetings, the Governors produce a report once a year.
