What is The Parent Partnership?

At Bournes Green Schools, our children are at the centre of everything we do. We value the support and input of our families and place great importance on the collaborative effort between school and home in ensuring our children achieve the best they can. 

The Parent Partnership meetings are a valuable way for the school to share information about the way we operate and how we help our children learn and develop. It is also a platform for parents to share ideas and views that may help the school continue to develop and improve. 

Terms of Reference

Aims  

• to work together to improve the education and opportunities provided for our children.

Parent Partnership meetings will be informal and held each term. Please email Mr Denchfield if you have any ideas or suggestions that you would like included within a future meeting. All requests will be considered, although we cannot guarantee every request will be used.
