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 meetings so far, we have covered the following topics:
- Academy communication.
- The Academy phone line and changes we made.
- Our Community Kitchen events.
- Bold Voices -

- Rewards and sanctions.
- Social Media
In our last meeting we discussed homework and revision with the following questions:
- Which subjects are your young people completing homework regularly?
- Is your young person being issued homework catch ups?
- What does good homework look like for a parent?
- What communication would you like regarding homework?
Our next meeting is at 5pm on Thursday 28th November 2024. Please use the Du Cane entrance to head towards reception.
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
