Information for current parents

Parent Forum

Parent Forum is a route through which parents as a group can share their views and ideas with the academy and for the governing body to consult with parents.

Some of the benefits for parents are:

• Parents have a forum in which they can come together, share ideas and put forward their views
• Their active involvement in decision making is increased, fostering a culture of ownership and participation
• Parents have more information about their children’s education and the quality of that education
• Parent forums can improve working relationships between the academy and parents.

Some of the benefits for the academy are:

• The academy is able to develop a better understanding of the views and needs of parents and how they might address them
• Parents contribute time, ideas and skills which complement the ideas, skills and expertise of the academy staff and governors
• Parent forums provide a clear route for parents as a group (rather than individuals) to feedback to the academy and governing body.
