Parent Partnership

What is The Parent Partnership?

At Mead Primary School, our children are at the centre of everything we do. We value the support and input of our families hugely and place great importance on the collaborative effort between school and home in ensuring our children achieve the best they can.

The Parent Partnership meetings are a valuable way for the school to share information about the way we operate and how we help our children learn and develop. It is also a platform for parents to share ideas and views that may help the school continue to develop and improve.
