The Parent Council is made up of parents who volunteer to support the school and represent the wider Parent Forum. All parents and carers are members of the Parent Forum. There are currently 16 members of the Parent Council representing each class and early learning. The head teacher attends meetings and updates on activities at school. They also answer questions about staffing and teaching. A wide range of topics are discussed. We currently have two working groups for fund raising and safer routes to school.
The Parent Council meets four times a year, usually each term. Meetings have been online but have now resumed in person at the school. You can currently also join meetings remotely with MS Teams. Our AGM is in September each year where we elect new members and office bearers. Our meetings are open to all parents and we invite you to attend. Class representatives can also raise things on your behalf.
We have a constitution, shared below. Funds are used to support learning, school trips, equipment, materials and the school environment. Our main fund-raising events are a bingo night. Thanks to all those who help!
We have recently supported the school with netballs, nets and icepacks for the netball team, magazines for the library, library furniture, books for the nursery and supporting the P7 trip.
We helped the school create this website and are currently fundraising for projects within the school and campaigning for improvements to the playground.
