A Message from the Governors of Parkside School: "The Governors of Parkside School are appointed to represent different groups in the community. Parents, of course, are one very important group. Governors will be pleased to hear from you, but please remember that they are not able to deal with day to day concerns about your child’s education or anything else that happens in school. Your first port of call should always be the Class Teacher and, if necessary, the Headteacher. If, having explored these options, you still have a concern, please do make contact with the Governing Board via the Chair of Governors, care of the school."
