FOSIS want everyone with an interest in the school and its pupils, be it teachers, parents, grandparents, carers, siblings, friends and neighbours to be included in its activities and always welcome new friends however much or little you want to get involved. If you want to find out more about FOSIS or have a question about an upcoming event, then please email us at . Each term a parent forum meeting is held at the school and chaired by the headteacher, Cate Gregory. These meetings are attended by the class representatives. If you would like to feed anything back to the school, please provide information to your class representative who will raise it on your behalf at the next meeting.

Each class therefore has a number of parent representatives. Their important role involves supporting the parents / carers in their class, the class teacher and FOSIS. They are able to raise parents' views via a Parent Forum held with the teaching staff and have been known to arrange social events to enable parents to meet. The class representatives for 2026/27 are; | **Year R** | |---| | Squirrels | Tamsyn Langton/ Yasmine Arafa | | Otters | Courtney Muskens / Jen Simpson | | Hedgehogs | Reena Jewell/ Gabriella Racz | | **Year 1** | | Moles | Gemma Alexander / Elouise Cahil | | Rabbits | Taryn Makaruk / Debbie Burbidge | | Owls | Claire Large / Matt Whitlocke | | **Year 2** | | Beavers | Kimberly Duncan / Shavi Urquhart | | Foxes | Emily Arbery / Vicki Dane | | Badgers | Sally Hillier / Rachel Madgewick | ### Parents - [Family Information](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents) - [Calendar](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/calendar) - [Weekly Communication](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/weekly-communications) - [Attendance](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/attendance) - [Clubs](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/clubs) - [Guidance and support for Parents and Carers](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/guidance-and-support-for-parents) - [Home Learning](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/home-learning) - [Friends of Shirley Infant School](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/friends-of-shirley-infant-school) - [Educational Visits](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/trips) - [School Dinners](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/school-dinners) - [Uniform](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/uniform) - [Medical](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/medical) - [Well Being Hub](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/well-being-hub) - [Travel Plan](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/emergency-school-closures/travel-plan) - [Emergency School Closures](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/emergency-school-closures) ![Shirley Infant School](https://files.schudio.com/shirley-infant/images/logo/Shirley-Infant-footer-Logo-3.png) ### Shirley Infant School Wilton Road Southampton Hampshire SO15 5LA 023 8077 5057 ### Useful Links - [Governors](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/our-school/governors) - [Job Vacancies](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/join-our-school/job-vacancies) - [Online Resources](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/parents/guidance-and-support-for-parents) - [SEND](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/key-information/anti-bullying-strategy/send-information) ### Translation © Copyright 2026 Shirley Infant School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://shirleyinfantschool.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
