Present: Sam, Marcus Nikki
- Discussed where working with parents good - very positive about parents evenings and assemblies. Teachers good at giving time to listening to parents, and Mr Shufflebottom great at 'hyping them up'
- Texting seen as excellent - is there a way to reply to the school via text?
- Parent Questionnaire discussed - could we add to existing questionnaire? What questions would we like to ask parents? If we had a big pot of money what should we spend it on? If there was something you'd like to change?
- 'Local hero' project discussed - a means of valuing the contribution to a range of different people to the school (including parents and carers). Children write/film a short piece about their heros. We talked about incentives or prizes. Trip out might not be best for some - a laptop or camcorder might be good, but then began to discuss if competitive thing with only one prize may not fit with school. An award ceremony, where children give medals, or badges to their heros may work - attendance badges were seen as success and important to children. Is this something best arranged for
- Board display - it is taking time to arrange through school, so decided best to begin with board in entrance - suggested holiday info, local childminders other useful info could be checked out at library. Nicky offered to be one of the parents responsible to keep board up-to-date.
- Web page/blog or PIP facebook page linked to official site. Could add info from display to facebook too.
