    Welcome to all our Parents

    New building

    This is Unity College's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).  It is a place where you can view information about the school, communicate with us and hopefully get more involved in the school and your child's learning adventure.

    • Parents - Unity College needs you!

      Parent Council

      At Unity College we believe that it is vital to our continuing improvement that all of our students and their parents are consulted about decisions which will affect them.

      That is why we have a Student Council and why we want to create a PARENT COUNCIL.

      What is a Parent Council?

      A Parent Council is a group of parents who represent parents’ views, give their opinions, are consulted with about important decisions and who have an impact on the way the College develops.

      This is your opportunity to be actively involved in your child’s educational experience to work in partnership with Unity College and the Governors to make sure that this experience is the best it can possibly be.

      Sounds Great!

      How can I get involved?
