Core Groups
A Core-group exists for each year group in the college.
These are representative groups of parents which meet regularly. They provide a forum to facilitate communication between parents and staff, so that all can work to improve the experience each student has in the college.
You can read about some of the activities of the core-groups (or PRA) at this link.
