Parent Working Group
Our Parent Working Group aims to strengthen relationships between the Academy and home and help us gain feedback on how the Academy can continue to get even better. By doing so we can realise our Academy vision of 'we will be the ones to make the world a better place.'
In our 7 meetings so far, we have covered the following topics:
- Academy communication.
- The Academy phone line and changes we made.
- Our Community Kitchen event in December.
- Bold Voices - https://burlingtondanes.org/news/parent-online-event-bold-voices
- Assessment data sheets.
- Rewards and sanctions.
Our next meeting with take place on Wednesday 12th July at 6pm where we will continue to discuss the impact of social media and smart phones. Please read through the letter below to frame our discussion.

We are looking forward to building a strong relationship with the Academy and home. This group will be a key driver in ensuring that this happens, so we are looking for parents to join the group to provide the feedback needed to support the Academy becoming even better.

If you know another parent that would be great for the group, then why not show them this page.
The BDA Way
Pupils, parents, teachers all sign a Home-School agreement. This is a joint promise that all of us will put in the time and effort required for our children to succeed. Parents are expected to support children by supervising home learning, ensuring that children attend school and wear the correct uniform.
Parent voice
Parents and carers are an integral part of our school community, and your feedback forms an essential part of our ongoing development and improvement. We regularly run surveys and sessions to gather your views on the education your child is receiving, and to understand where we can do better.
You can share your feedback via these channels:
- Ofsted's Parent View tool. This survey consists of 12 short questions around topics such as teaching and behaviour, and will feed into our ongoing development plan
- Directly with a member of our staff
- The main school office
