The Parentsrsquo Forum

At Balgowan we believe that a Parentsrsquo Forum offers an informal way for parents staff and governors to come together to discuss the development of the school

We actively encourage parents to build partnerships that will promote their involvement in their childrsquos education

What is a parentsrsquo forum

A parentsrsquo forum is an active group for a school or early years setting generally arranged in a series of meetings organised by the Head Teacher or a senior manager The purpose of our parentsrsquo Forum is-

1048707 To give parents a voice in the school1048707 To involve parents in the life of the school1048707 To ensure a free flow of communications between parents and staff1048707 To act as a link with the local community

Who are involved in the forum

All parents carers and staff at the school are given the opportunity to attend the forum and take part in discussions

It does not have responsibilities or decision makingpowers These belong to the governing body For example the Parentsrsquo Forum cannot change policies but can comment on them prior to their implementation

Ground rules

No issues will be selected that would bring the school into disrepute

Everyone at the forum is entitled to hold an opinion or to disagree with an opinion but that it should not become personalised

The forum is not the place to air grievances either by staff or parents Grievance and complaints procedures are in place to deal with issues should they arise

Equally it is not the place to discuss the progress or attainment of individual children within the school
