Each session the previous actions are reviewed and new aspects discussed.

 

So far the parent focus group have focussed on:

learning and curriculum

  • The parents reviewed the PHSE and SRE curriculum and policy to agree its contents.

  • Parents have given feedback on homework and access to additional work through the website, this has resulted in more regular high quality homework.

ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING

  • A new report format was designed in consultation with parents.

  • Information on making assessment accessible is being designed with the parents.The format for parents’ evenings was reviewed with the focus group.

PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT

  • Regular reviews of the website are conducted with the parents to ensure that all relevant information is needed, this has resulted in significant improvement.

  • Parent workshop themes are selected in consultation with the parent focus group.

  • The sports day format was improved with the input of the parent focus group.

  • 'Parent projects’ were stopped following the input of the focus groups and ‘family learning sessions’ introduced.
