Spring Term 2024 - Thank you to the parents who gave their time to attend the meeting on Tuesday 12th March 2024. Parents were invited to feedback verbally about various topics.
We started by talking about online safety as it had been noted that a recent letter from school to Year 5/6 parents highlighted the misuse of social media, in particular WhatsApp groups. We discussed the role that School played in keeping children safe online and parents gave positive examples of how their own children had been talking about keeping themselves safe. That said, it was felt that children were given mobiles/tablets too early and left unsupervised this led to its misuse. Parents felt that school could do more to support parents with online support materials and Mr Nash agreed to create a regular feature in School Bulletins from the National Online Safety organisation.
We re-discussed the positive work and steps school was taking to promote girls in sport this year. We all felt more could be done in particular with taster sessions. We mentioned about setting up donations for old sports kit, including boots and socks which could be used to help more children get involved. Mr Nash said he would add an item to the Bulletin. It was noted that parents would like children to go on more trips too.
There will be another Parents’ Forum in the Summer Term 2024
