Parent Forum

At Spring Hill, we value the opinions and views of parents and are committed to working in partnership with them to improve every child's school experience and education. One way in which Spring Hill does this is through half-termly Parent Forum meetings, where parents meet with members of the school leadership team to discuss issues related to the school that will help us to improve how we do things.
