Parents' Forum

We have established a Parents Forum where groups of parents and carers who are interested in the school meet twice a term, to identify and discuss areas of common interest. There are occasional guest appearances including: 

• Headteacher and other members of staff
• Governors
• Members of the Vale of Glamorgan

Parents and carers who wish to be involved in the forum should be:

• very supportive of Fairfield School
• good listeners, as well as good talkers
• committed to providing real help to teachers and governors to make the school a better place.

Aims

• The Parents’ Forum provides a platform for all parents and carers of children at Fairfield to talk to each other about issues that affect their children in school, and to learn about the school and its successes.
• The aim of the Forum is to produce positive actions that will benefit the pupils, staff, parents and carers at Fairfield School.
• It does this by gathering shared experiences and ideas from parents and carers, developing a constructive dialogue between the Forum and the school and making recommendations to the staff and governors as appropriate.

What do we talk about?

• We would like those who come along to set the agenda.
• Special Educational Needs
• Gifted & Talented
• Communication, particularly parents’ evenings, written communication to parents, the school web site
• Homework 
• Clubs and societies
• Healthy Eating
• Eco-Schools
