Time for parents
parentsCommunication between parents, staff and children is very important. There is a fortnightly school newsletter and regular parent/teacher meetings are held, along with class meetings.

The annual Strawberry Fair is a popular event in the locality with parents and children working hard to make it a success.
The combination of parents and teachers working together for the benefit of the children is a vital part of the strength of Park School - indeed this prospectus was produced in this way!
 
As well as organising the usual social and fund raising events, parents actively participate in the life of the school. For example there is help to maintain it by taking part in an optional school rota.  They also assist in the classroom with the teachers’ guidance. There is an elected Parent Chair, and also parent class reps. Two elected parents also belong to the School’s Council of Management which has overall responsibility for Park.
