Supporting our school community.
All parents/carers are automatically members of the Parent Forum at St Andrew’s all parents can expect to –
- receive information about the school and its activities;
- hear about what partnership with parents means in our school;
- be invited to be involved in ways and times that suit you;
- identify issues you want the parent council, to work on with the school;
- be asked your opinion by the parent council on issues relating to the school and the education it provides;
- work in partnership with staff; and
- enjoy taking part in the life of the school in whatever way possible.
The Parent Forum decides how its representatives on the Parent Council are chosen and how the Parent Council operates. You can view our constitution here.
It is important to us that our Parent Council reflects the rich diversity of our school community. The Parent Council is a registered charity and continues to thrive thanks to our amazing volunteers. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background, faith or identify. We celebrate diversity and encourage participation from all members of our community.
The main aims of the Parent Council, currently chaired by Aziza Walker and vice-chaired by Rebekah Jones, are to:
- support St Andrew’s in its work with pupils
- represent the views of parents
- promote contact between the school, parents, pupils, providers of nursery education and the community
- report to the Parent Forum
- be involved in the appointment of senior promoted staff
- raise funds for the school for the benefit of pupils
- organise fun events for pupils and families that build community
- ensure our whole community can be nurtured and inspired to flourish!
We are all busy parents/carers doing what we can, and every little bit helps. Many hands make light work!
