Agenda Items, Questions, Queries & Feedback

It is important to St James’ Parent Group that all parents know that their views matter, and they feel confident and comfortable putting them forward. We work on behalf of all parents to discuss educational matters that are of importance to all. In order to facilitate this, we have created a short questionnaire that can be completed at any stage in the school year. You may remain anonymous and you are not required to give any contact details.

Please note, we are unable to get involved in individual matters relating to children or staff in the school and ask that you contact the school directly in these instances.
