Parent Forum

Parent Forum is a partnership between parents/carers and the school. It is a valuable way to share ideas, views, and concerns and make suggestions for improvement.

The aims of the Parent Forum will be to:

  • Work together to improve the education for our children
  • Share information, knowledge and skills
  • Meet in a mutually supportive environment
  • Further improve communications between parents/carers and staff

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

Who can be part of the Parent Forum?

Any parent/carer of children who currently attend St Nicholas is welcome to join any Parent Forum meeting. The forum will be chaired by Mrs Waller and Mrs Leaf. Minutes of the meetings will be taken by Mrs Butler and will be emailed to all parents/carers.

Why should I be part of the Parent Forum?

It gives you the opportunity to get together with other parents each half term and have your say about what you feel is going well and suggest ideas of how things could be even better.

How can I raise an issue?

Come to the meeting and bring it up during the open discussion. If you are unable to attend in person, email the school office and your question will be raised by Mrs Butler at the meeting.
