Parent Coffee Mornings

ABOUT

What? A ‘coffee morning’ for all parents and carers across the academy hosted by a member of the Senior Leadership Team, a Head of Department or Subject Teacher. 

Why? We aim to build strong relationships with our families and offer parents/carers excellent 1-to-1 help and advice in supporting their child's education and wellbeing at home.

How? Coffee mornings are hosted in-person or virtually depending on the availability of our staff. Parents/carers are notified of a coffee morning in advance via ParentMail email. 

If an event is hosted virtually, parents/carers will be sent a Zoom link prior to each Coffee Morning.

Time? 9:05-9:45
