What is the Parent Forum?

The Parent Forum is a partnership between parents and the school. It provides a valuable opportunity to share ideas, views, and concerns, and to make suggestions for improvement.

The aims of the Parent Forum are to:

• Work together to improve the education provided for our children

• Share information, knowledge, and skills

• Meet in a mutually supportive environment

• Further improve communication between parents/carers and staff and governors
   

The Parent Forum does not have any statutory responsibilities, duties, or powers within the school.

Who Can Participate in the Parent Forum?

Two parents from each class will act as Class Representatives and will attend Parent Forum meetings.

However, any parent or carer of a child currently attending Elham Primary School is welcome to join any Parent Forum meeting.  Please let the office know if you would like to attend.

Mr Magliocco will chair the forum. Other members of the school community may attend depending on the agenda and any initiatives the school wishes to share with parents.

Why Should I Participate in the Parent Forum?

The Parent Forum gives you the opportunity to:

• Share your views on what the school is doing well

• Suggest ideas for improvement

• Strengthen the partnership between parents and the school

How Often Will the Parent Forum Meet?

The Parent Forum will meet once every term for approximately one hour.

What Will Be Discussed at the Meetings?

Meetings will focus on:

• Improving the school

• Developing the partnership between parents and the school

Meetings are informal and encourage open discussion. Minutes will be taken and made available on the school website.

Please note: the Parent Forum is not the place to discuss individual children, families, or staff concerns or complaints.
