LP suggested that Bi annual meetings are held out of school hours to discuss significant agenda items such as summer fair, leavers disco dates, LP proposed that these could be supported by the after school club to facilitate teachers and parents to attend. DR agreed and LP/DR to agree dates asap.

 

Chair highlighted lack of teacher involvement in previous years but representation of teachers appears improved this year, biannual meetings to discuss major events, held out of school hours should also improve this.
