Parent Teacher contact, looking at the frequency
and type of contact -
Feedback from parental suggestions informed the
calendar/assessment cycle for 2017-18. Very useful to receive parent's feedback
and in future it would be appropriate to provide more information in terms of
calendar constraints as part of the exercise.

Home / School Partnership Agreement -
Parents reviewed Home School Partnership
agreement and made several suggestion relating to expectations e.g. excellent
punctuality and attendance. It was raised by several parents that many of the
points in the agreement were essentially minimal expectations and that there
should be a clear implication/expectation that these standards would be met by
parents/students. JFR explained that this may be the case, however, it needed
to cover all the bases and was a useful reference point for discussions with
parents and students.
ACTIONS: Amendments suggested by Parent Forum adopted, agreement ratified by governors and amended agreement in use for 2017-18
