As a parent of a child at WHS you can make an enormous difference to your child's chances of success in school, at home and in their later life. Working in partnership with WHS and the Parent Voice Group can help them to succeed.

WHS and the Parent Voice Group encourages  parental involvement and there are  many informal ways that you as a parent or carer can get involved .  You may be able to help out on a regular basis during the day or you may only occasionally have time after school. The important thing is to be aware that you have skills and abilities that you can use to benefit the school and its pupils. All parents have something to bring to the table and this is why we encourage you get involved either by attending meetings or simply let us know how you would like to be involved by sharing your details and thoughts with us either by email, facebook, or a note via our website.

Research shows that parental involvement in secondary school makes a huge difference to children's academic and emotional well-being. Parenting of teens is one of the most difficult jobs in the world and keeping in close contact with their school life can help to prepare for many of the potential problems that teenagers now face.
