| How the need was identified |
Former Headteacher
felt that parents of the minority
ethnic communities were not feeling comfortable
coming into the school maybe due to their
confidence in using English language. There were
low numbers attending parents' evening, numeracy,
literacy evenings. |
| Aims of the project |
- The main aim of the project was to foster a sense of belonging
so that parents feel included in the day to
day life of school.
|
| How the project operates |
- Parents were invited to an introductory session to compile a programme
together.
|
| How is the programme innovative |
- Initially we planned six or seven sessions.
- However the whole programme
snowballed into other directions.
- The programme centred around what
the parents wanted.
