Class Representatives

Improving communication across the whole school community

We operate a system of Class Representatives. Each class has two reps to act as another form of communication between the school and our families; we will ask for volunteers at the beginning of each academic year.

The reps have termly meetings with members of the senior leadership team, to support the work of school staff.

The purpose of these Class Rep meetings is:

to support school improvement;
to be a means of communication between the school and our parent/carer community;
to be a positive forum, one that celebrates the work of the school whilst discussing next steps and ways forward;
to increase parent/carer involvement;
to help foster positive links between Class Reps and the PTFA.

Class Rep meetings are not a forum:

through which to air individual concerns;
through which to criticise the school or the work of school staff.

Concerns relating to either of the above should be raised directly with class teachers, year group leaders or a member of the senior leadership team*.

If a parent/carer contacts a class rep with an individual worry or concern, they should be reminded to follow the procedure above and class reps should not agree to handle matters on their behalf.

If you would like to make contact with the Class Rep(s) for your child's class, please contact the school office and a member of the team will forward your details to the relevant person.

*A separate complaints policy is published on the website - Key Info - Policies - Whole School Policies - Complaints Form

The Terms of Reference for the role of the Class Reps can be viewed here.

Please read our School Communications Code of Conduct.

We have developed a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document which provides responses to the most commonly raised questions at Class Rep Meetings. Class Reps will direct parents/carers to this document, as these items will no longer be raised at meetings.
