Parent Council

As a parent/carer of a child in our school you are automatically a member of our Parent Forum. From our Parent Forum we form a Parent Council which meets monthly to discuss general issues relating to the school. We discuss issues relating to the whole school rather than regarding individual children (concerns about your child or their class should be raised with the class teacher).

The Parent Council play a valuable roll in raising money for the benefit of all children in the nursery and school. This money is used for many things that benefit the children. Classes may go out of school on an educational trip (eg Edinburgh Castle), they may have a visit from a group who provide a workshop (eg Scottish Opera workshop) or resources may be purchased (e.g. new reading books). The work of the Parent Council in this respect is vital to enhancing the educational experience of all children and widening their access to resources which support their learning.

The Parent Council also support development within the school. Their opinion is soughtand they contribute to the life and work of the school in this way.

We will be having our AGM on Tuesday, 6th September at 7pm in the staffroom at school.

We will appoint the new committee and refreshments are always on offer. New members are always welcome. Please consider coming along to join us. We would value your opinion and welcome new talents.

If you are unable to come along to Parent Council meetings but would like to help with events such as the Christmas Fair please let us know. We are always looking for extra help.
