Meet the Parents

Meet the Parents is a pioneering scheme to give primary school parents the inside story on their local secondary schools. We arrange for families from the local comprehensives to come into feeder primaries and talk frankly about their experience at school. It fills a gap between slick open days and age-old rumours in the playground.

We’ve been running the scheme in Camden in North London since 2012 and in that time we have won over scores of parents to staying local rather than sending their children to schools outside the area. Each child brings a boost to the secondary schools’ budgets and strengthens the local community.

In today’s educational landscape schools can change – and improve – extremely quickly. Parents’ views can often lag behind. Meet the Parents is there to ensure they catch up. Primary school parents get information they can trust in a down-to-earth setting.
