The aim of Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) is to foster better relationships between parents and their children's schools.
PTAs create a partnership which helps the school listen to and deal with parents' concerns; and for parents to learn more about the school and how to improve their children's education. PTAs do not necessarily represent the views of all parents but they can be an excellent forum for communication and a basis for partnership between parents and schools.
Summer Schools provide the opportunity for students to experience the different aspects that a university education can provide. Students are given the opportunity to study a subject of their choice and develop key skills for HE including academic writing, presentation skills, and teamwork.
Each of the Summer Schools focuses on a specific subject area for students aged 16 and above. However, a programme for gifted and talented students is also offered.
