Dear Parents<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> Parents’ <strong>Meeting</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />
On behalf of the Governing Body I am writing to invite you to the <strong>Annual</strong> Parents’ <strong>Meeting</strong> with<br />
the governors to be held in the School at 7pm on Tuesday 26 th <strong>February</strong> <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
We believe an <strong>Annual</strong> Parents’ <strong>Meeting</strong> is a valuable opportunity for parents and governors to<br />
discuss and improve understanding of key issues and developments for the School, rather than<br />
focusing on your daughter’s development and personal work which are covered in the year<br />
group parents’ evenings. Although an <strong>Annual</strong> Parents’ <strong>Meeting</strong> is not a statutory requirement,<br />
we believe it is helpful to bring parents and governors together.<br />
This year the Chairs of each of the Governing Body sub-committees will give a brief presentation<br />
on their own areas of responsibility in addition to a short report from the Head. The<br />
presentations will be followed by an open question and answer session and then refreshments<br />
will be served during which time there will be the opportunity to speak to governors more<br />
informally.<br />
I hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend the meeting, and would be grateful if<br />
you could complete the reply slip or e-mail to confirm your attendance. It would also be helpful<br />
if you could indicate any specific questions you may have and would like addressed; depending<br />
on their nature, responses will be given either during the main session or individually after the<br />
formal presentation.<br />
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
Susan Shanahan<br />
Chair of Governors<br />
