Its aims are:  to create a welcoming and inclusive school  to promote partnership  to have Gospel values at the heart of all we do  to identify and represent parents' views  to support our children's education in practical ways and fundraise  to apply for and obtain grants to support the school

5. Collaboration and representation A school is good to the extent that… A school is excellent to the extent that… It consults parents on key issues relating to school life and provision. What parents think is important for the school and for their own children has a significant influence on the school’s vision. They help to formulate and agree with the school’s priorities for improvement. It actively seeks out the views of parents and the wider community on its strengths and areas for development. It consults effectively with parents on the improvements and changes it is planning. It asks them for formal feedback on specific events, the quality of education, school leadership and on the way the school is run. It ensures that parents are fully involved as it implements its plans for improvement. It involves parent representatives alongside pupils and staff in identifying improvements. Parents are confident in contributing ideas, expressing concerns and making suggestions. Parent representatives communicate regularly with the rest of the parent body, systematically canvassing opinions and views.
