Parent Council 25th May 2022

Parent Council Meeting – Wednesday 25th May 2022

What is going well?

(Is there any other opportunity for this to be repeated?)

Meet and greet on the gates so there is always someone to talk to if you need to.
There has been a really nice buzz about parents being able to be back in to school and watch shows and attend assemblies. Parents seem to feel more connected with what is going on.
My son was really proud for us to be able to see all of his work.
Teachers are quick to respond to emails.
The teachers seem to really care, they email when a child has been away and make them feel really pleased to be returning to school.
Year 3 went down to the beach to do their Roman Numerals work – it is lovely that the children have learning beyond the classroom.

Is there anything which has not been going so well?

Our children have got to the end of the homework sentences and seem to now not have had anything to do.
My child's reading record did not show how often my child had been read with, I went in and spoke to the staff and this has now been sorted out.
It would be helpful to know how to deepen our children’s learning.

Is there anything you would like to know more about?

Is there an opportunity for there to be a girls only football pitch? Or an alternative pitch?
Is choir still happening?

Is there anything you think, we could improve on, as a school?

Any questions or AOB?

How do parents feel about children being able to bring phones to school?

An explanation of our processes was given to parents i.e. pupils must hand in their phones to the school office, phones must not be out on school site etc. Feedback was:
It would be refreshing for children not to have them but phones are a sign of the times.
Parents should sign to take responsibility for the children having their phones in school.
