“Parent Council provides an excellent forum for discussing topics that matter in an open and transparent way. The outcomes of these meetings make a big difference to the way we go about our day-to-day practices at Birchwood.”

The Parent Council was established in 2017 to help the school work with and engage representatives of the parent body. Each year group has 4 parent representatives, resulting in 24 parents in total on our Parent Council. Meetings are run on a termly basis and are attended by Mr Griffin.

Topics discussed at Parent Council include:

• Target setting in Interim Reports
