What is the Parent Forum?

The Parent Forum is a partnership between parents and the school. It is a valuable way to share   ideas and make suggestions for improvement.

The main aims:

· Work together collaboratively to improve the education provided for our children

· Share information, knowledge and skills

· Further improve communications between parents/carers and staff/governors

· To work in a consultative way

· To foster an active partnership between home and school

· To improve communication

Who can be part of the Parent Forum?

Any parent/ carer is welcome to join any Parent Forum meeting.

Why should I be part of the Parent Forum?

It gives you an opportunity to get together on a regular basis with other parents to have your say on what the school is doing well, and suggest ideas of how things could be improved.

What will be discussed at the meetings?

Anything related to improving the school and further developing the partnership between the school and parents. In advance of the meeting the agenda will be sent out to all parents. Parents can then decide if they will like to attend and contribute their ideas and suggestions.

What will not be discussed at the meetings?

Concerns or complaints involving individual children, families or members of staff. These issues should be raised with the class teacher, Assistant Headteacher, Deputy Headteacher or Headteacher in a confidential meeting.

Race Equality Parent Forum

At Greenwood Primary, we are proud to celebrate our diverse school community and are committed to ensuring that every child feels valued, represented and included.

Race Equality Coffee Mornings

We warmly invite parents and carers of Black Caribbean, Black Somali and Black Caribbean and White dual heritage pupils to join our Race Equality Coffee Mornings — a friendly and supportive space to come together for open conversation.

These sessions are an opportunity to:

• Share your views and experiences
• Celebrate what’s working well
• Explore ways to further improve the school experience for all pupils at Greenwood

They also offer a wonderful chance to meet other parents, build connections and hear a range of perspectives within our community.

Previous Discussions

In past sessions, we’ve explored key topics such as:

• Diversity in the curriculum – ensuring every child sees themselves reflected in what they learn
• Our behaviour policy – promoting fairness, inclusion and consistency for everyone
• Representation among staff – supporting diversity across all levels of the school

Your voices and experiences continue to shape our approach and help us make Greenwood a place where every child can thrive.
