AGM and General Meeting Tuesday 1st September 2020
Meeting – 26th February 2020
We had a Parent Council Meeting tonight.
There was a real positivity in the air and the committee members are very keen to find ways to get even more involved in the work of the school. We really want parents to be involved in their children’s education, we all know it leads to better outcomes for children when we all work together.
These are the minutes of the last meeting, held in November.
The Head Teacher’s Report for tonight’s meeting is attached.
