Success Stories – Parents
What parents say about our group work sessions……
The sessions have been a great addition; they have helped me to understand more, the roles of teachers and parents and the importance of good parent/teacher relationships.
Sydenham, Parent
Every session was useful in different ways, they all broke down barriers in one way or another. I have been educated and I’m well able to make informed decisions concerning the well being of my children
Sydenham, Parent
I understand they will influence confidence in our children helping them to strive towards higher goals and achieve their best of course we need more sessions to improve the standard of relations and therefore the school will benefit overall
MORE, MORE, MORE PLEASE!

Sydenham, Parent
Over the past term I have been learning about me through various programmes which have helped me to develop emotionally and has enabled me to see more clearly the approach to take when dealing with challenges concerning my children and their school.I have thoroughly enjoyed listen to other parents’ experiences and have learned to explore other incentives, ideas and perspectives which has helped me to see different views and motives for responses and reactions.
This has helped me to make informed decisions as opposed to emotional ones. This group is very positive and eye opening a valuable group that would benefit parent’s children and teachers.
