Parents Partnership Group

“We value relationships between staff, parents and students. The Parent Partnership Group (PPG) is an informal forum for parents and senior staff to share their views on a wide range of issues linked to raising achievement and students’ well-being within the school. We work together to assist the school in reviewing and improving practices and processes to enhance a positive and productive school experience. Meetings are held at the school, in the evening, twice a term.”

Our achievements to date include: -

  • Input into content and design of QEHS introductory booklet for Year 9
  • Introduction of more appropriate Year 9 timing of parents’ evening (i.e. first term) so can discuss possible GCSE options with children
  • Communication framework with many facets providing valuable ideas for SLT and adopted by Governors, including more use of parentmail, better communication of events, e-portal information to access on-line
  • Introduction of aspects which contribute to comfort at school and safety e.g. extra water fountain, supervised football area, double yellow lines extended outside
  • Collaboration of QEHS website design with SLT leading to massive expansion of information such as exam timetable on-line, comprehensive calendar, subject curriculum termly review
  • Input into e-safety with further work with SLT to develop in future
  • Input into Health Education and Sex Education curriculum
