Parent Voice
We are trying to create as many opportunities as possible for parents to become involved in the development of the school. Your views are important to us!
We would like to have a bank of parents on whom we can call when we need to seek views about impending developments and major changes to the running of the school. We would access your views in whatever way suited you best and at times and occasions convenient to yourselves e.g.:-
- Occasional working groups, meeting at times convenient to parents
- On line surveys
- Questionnaires
- Single question texts
- Interviews
