The group meets once a term. Additional meetings can be agreed as and when necessary.
The agenda for each meeting is to be drawn up by the headteacher, following consultation with members. The agenda will be issued to everyone at least 1 week before the relevant meeting.
Minutes will be taken so that all parents can be kept updated. These will detail the content and outcomes of meeting but not identify individual views. Minutes are to be circulated, where possible, within 2 weeks of a meeting and will be sent to all parents in the school. A copy of the minutes will be published here
