Parent Council

We are delighted to be able to welcome a new team to help shape the future of New Rickstones Academy.  Our inaugural Parent Council was established in November; its purpose is to seek views of other parents and carers, as well as being a contact point for any issues which you would like brought to future Parent Council meetings. Our first meeting focused on how the Academy could improve its communication. One of the recommendations is that we increase the level of email communication. If you would like to receive news about the Academy by email, and we do not already have your address, please email Mrs Goodfellow on

sgoodfellow@newrickstonesacademy.org  Our next meeting at the end of January will look at the issues surrounding Homework.  If you have any comment about any aspect of Homework, please contact one of our Parent Councillors on one of the email adresses below and they will happy to represent your views at our next meeting.

A big thank you to all of our Parent Councillors who are giving up their time to help drive further improvements at our Academy.
