So far we comprise students, a governor, head of sixth form, head of careers (now IAG), director of sport, and community cohesion assistant headteacher. However, we think it is very important that we also hear the views of parents about the advice given to their children at key stage transition times and also the support the school can offer parents on this subject. The group meets once per term on a Thursday at 4.00 pm to discuss an agenda for one hour; the main items for the next meeting are the results of a survey put to students and work experience. If you would like to join this group we would welcome you at the next meeting on: THURSDAY 6TH MAY in Meeting Room 1. Please contact Mrs. A. E.
