Meet the Parents - informal forums for parents
Meet the Parents run events for parents of primary pupils who are moving up to secondary school. These informal forums allow parents and carers to ask frank questions from other families. This includes current secondary students and their parents. You can combine this with getting information directly from schools at their official open events.
