The term ‘Parent Forum’ refers to every parent and carer of every pupil at Grange Academy. The term ‘Parent Council’ refers to a small group of Grange parents who meet with the Head Teacher roughly six times a year to discuss school life from a parent’s point of view. The meetings are organised and chaired by parents, rather than teachers. They provide an excellent opportunity to ‘get behind the scenes’ of school life and have a say in the direction the school is taking. The Parent Council is always looking to welcome new faces so please come along if you think it might be for you. You won’t be pressured into attending every single meeting or organising events or anything like that! It’s your advice and opinions about Grange life that we’re after.

You can contact the Parent Council at: grangepc5@gmail.comPlease find a copy of the Grange Academy Parent Council Constitution here.

We are hugely grateful for the support provided by the Parent Council and pleased that all decisions about best use of the money were taken by parents.

At the start of this meeting there will be a Special General Meeting of the Council to deal with the following matters:

1. A proposal to change the constitution to state that continued membership of the council is dependent on a member attending at least two meetings throughout the school year (current constitution states one meeting must be attended).

2. ⁠To consider admitting a new member to the Parent Council.
