Please share this session with your schools, it is for Head Teachers/SMT.
Parents and families can be a great support for a school and can help senior management in so many ways. This session works through the positive and effective ways a Parent Council can help engage with families and the wider community to help support learning. It addresses specifics around the role of the Parent Council and its interaction with school. There will also be time to discuss some of the potential challenges and how to manage relationships.
Developed in partnership with senior management teams and headteachers, this session consistently receives very positive feedback from both delegates and local authorities.
The session is interactive and informal with opportunities for discussion and questions. It’s a great chance to learn more about how you can work effectively with the Parent Council and to hear about good practice in other schools.
