Meet the Parents - informal forums for parents
Meet the Parents, a local social enterprise, run informal forums where parents of current primary school pupils can 'meet the parents' and students who attend their local secondary schools and hear about their experiences of those schools.
This year, Meet the Parents are running all of their events over one week, from 15th-18th September 2025. These are taking place after school at local primary schools across the borough. All are welcome to attend.
