We have a very active Parent Forum. Each year group has a representative on the Parent Forum, working as a link between the head teacher and all parents in the school. Parents will be notified of the themes that are being explored at the meetings through the fortnightly newsletter or the class representative.

- Year R Elizabeth Warr and Alice Clarke

- Year 3 Fiona Philip and Katherine Elphick
- Year 4 Sarah Birch and Laura Donlon
