Further forums will be held at least half termly and we will vary the times.
Areas discussed were:
- Communication between teachers and parents on a more frequent basis, Parent's Evenings / Information sharing with parents regarding pupil progress and targets
- Possibility of a school blog
- Workshops for parents in literacy and numeracy
- Leadership within school
- Pupil / Staff morale
- Parents helping in school in particular areas of interest / expertise, for example, the arts, creativity, media
- If you would also like to help in some way and feel you have a talent or interest to share with pupils and staff, Mrs Waterhouse, mum of Stanley, a reception class pupil, has volunteered to help us organise a 'register' of volunteers and how they can help. We will be writing to you with more information about this shortly.
If you want to join in, then please respond here and/or come and see us...
Thank you so much for to Mrs. Lawson, Mrs Homer, Ross and Mr. Beswick for hosting this parent's forum. It was really good to have a good, honest and open dialogue between parents and the school leadership. Let's hope that this meeting will help us move forward and deal constructively with some parents' concerns about communication with the school; supporting pupils in their individual learning needs; and encouraging creative, responsive and inspiring teaching across the whole curriculum!
ReplyDeleteHello St Hilda's - Has this blog link been sent out to parents in the newsletter?
ReplyDeleteNot all parents will have internet access but I think its important they are informed about it, so they have a choice
It would be great to see the school using this forum to publicise events too.
Thank you and look forward to your comments!
