The Group allowspeople to come together around a common cause, issue oractivity to organise, express objectives, and discuss issues,post photos and share related content. Approaching nearly100 members, the group is now the platform of choicewhere information is shared about school activities,upcoming FOAC events, reminders & announcements &charity fund raising ideas.The role of parent gove<strong>rnor</strong> is a vastly responsible one but Iam ready to meet the challenge with energy andenthusiasm.

As aparent, I can emphasise with the needs of our children and withthe necessity for parents to have a voice int the education ofour children through the governing body.It would therefore be my privilege to help support the school,staff and gove<strong>rnor</strong>s by sharing my knowledge, experience andprofessional skills to the governing body in any way I can.Satya Narayana VeerlapatiI'm Satya Narayana Veerlapati Dad of a year two child and alittle one starting in Reception.
