We have a variety of fantastic opportunities for parents at St Elizabeth. We offer bespoke parenting courses led by trained practitioners.  We also source outside agencies to lead and provide virtual and in person courses.  Previously we have provided parents with opportunities to complete accredited courses in ICT, Literacy and Mathematics.

Once we are able to allow parents onto the school grounds in larger groups we will restart our weekly coffee mornings which involve general catch ups, school event planning, fundraising and guest speakers.
