Parents

We believe parents are partners in their child’s education. We welcome parents’ views and opinions. Parents are always welcome in school. Many parents voluntarily support learning at Fair Oak Junior School. There is a very active Parent Staff Association who organise events during the year. A parents’ forum meets regularly to discuss concerns and issues. Parent meetings are held to enable parents to find out more about initiatives at school.

If you are a parent or carer, we hope you will find the web links below useful.
