Primary parents to get direct contact with school bosses

Sunday 02 February 2020


Parents and carers of children at primary school are going to have the chance to speak directly to senior educationists about the future plans for secondary education.

ESC is set to host a series of presentations so that the parents will have the chance to quiz those who will run Lisia School on exactly how it will work, and how their children will be affected.

They will all be invited to an early evening meeting at the school their child attends.

The presentations will be similar in style to those held with parish officials earlier this month. There will be a short introduction by Deputy Matt Fallaize, Education President, followed by presentations by Executive Headteacher Liz Coffey and either Kieran James or Vicky Godley, Principal Designates at Victor Hugo and de Saumarez colleges respectively. A senior officer will also give a short presentation on infrastructure, including traffic management.

The audience will be invited to ask questions after each short presentation. The meetings will start at 18:00 with an expected finish time of 20:00.

Deputy Matt Fallaize said: "Following the productive meetings we held with parish officials earlier this month, and the various drop-ins we have held at the Les Beaucamps and St Sampson’s sites, we committed to engaging directly with other stakeholders.

"We are grateful to primary school headteachers for providing us with access to their school halls to host these meetings, which will provide an invaluable opportunity to discuss the reforms to secondary and post-16 education with parents of children who will experience all of their secondary education in the new school and its colleges. A key part of the meetings will be to give parents the chance to ask questions, particularly of the senior educationalists who are carefully planning how the two colleges will operate day to day."

Meetings will be held at 11 primary schools over the next five weeks. Each school will contact parents directly to invite them and provide further details of the meeting at their child’s school.
