Review of parenting support - part one: school admissions

Minutes:

8.1  The chair noted that we had a visit scheduled to the Southwark Governors Forum, but he could not make it and asked the vice chair to attend, and this was agreed.

 

8.2  Pauline Armour, Assistant Director of 05 -11 Services & Inclusion, suggested that we approach other parent partnerships for their views, as well as head teachers in each quadrant. The committee welcomed this suggestion.

 

 

 

RESOLVED

 

The review will seek evidence from:

 

1)  Early Years Parents Forum at 12noon January 25th, 10am-1pm at 1st Place Children's Centre, Chumleigh Street, Burgess Park, SE5 0RN

2)  Admissions Forum Monday 7th February at 4pm. Exact time and venue to be confirmed

3)  Southwark Governors Forum feedback from governors requested via the bulletin sent out in January.

 

Other parent networks will be pursued for feedback on the school admission process.

 

Children’s Services will provide details of head teachers in each quadrant with a view to holding interviews with schools to get their prospective on the admissions process.
