Parent Forums

Our motto at Parish School is "Building Learning, Friendships and Faith" and we firmly believe that to accomplish this we need to build strong partnerships with parents.  At Parish we have a number of different Parent Voice groups.

Our parent forums include:

ECO Parent Forum meet on a half termly basis with Ms Veninga.

EDIJ Parent Forum (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) meet on a half termly basis with Miss Koci.

SEND Parent Forum meet on a half termly basis with Mrs Coleman, Head Teacher, a member of our InclusionTeam and Mrs Burnett our AAC link member.

In addition there is a general parent forum made up of class reps,  members of the senior leadership team and members of the Academy Advisory Council (AAC).

Our parent forums are a valuable way to share and discuss ideas and views and make suggestions for improvements.
