Looking for ideas for over the summer? Have a look at the posters below . These are events designed specifically for children with additional support needs and their families to enjoy together.

East Renfrewshire Council and its educational establishments undertake regular periodic surveys of parents and carers.  Such surveys support school and local authority improvement planning and provide an opportunity for parents to share their thoughts on current and future involvement and engagement with schools.

Similar practice is undertaken by all local authorities in Scotland and educational establishments under their control.  In order to rationalise this approach to surveying parents/carers and in order to allow comparable consistent data to be collected nationally, which will assist in evaluating the impact of interventions and programmes and support future policy development, every parent/carer of a school pupil in Scotland is being invited to take part in the national Parental Involvement and Engagement Census pilot.

Only one parent/carer per child will receive an email which will include a link to the survey and it is only necessary to complete the survey once per family, per school.  The survey should take no longer than ten minutes to complete and will remain open until 27 June 2019.

The data gathered will be used for statistical and research purposes and will provide East Renfrewshire Council and its schools with information to help:

• plan, monitor and deliver better policies for the benefit of all,
• identify and share best practice,
• better understand some of the factors which influence parental involvement and engagement with our schools,
• further enhance positive relationships with parents to secure positive outcomes for our children.

The information collected will also be securely shared with the Scottish Government to assist in evaluating the impact of national interventions and programmes and to support future policy development at a national level.

Further information on the collection and how the Education Department and Scottish Government will process the data collected is provided in the Council’s privacy statement and Scottish Government website:

Unfortunately we heard today that our School Crossing Patroller, Mr. Barclay, has decided to leave his post . We wish him well for the future. This means that there is a vacancy for a new School Crossing Patroller effective from 17.4.18 and it is unlikely that this post will be filled in the immediate future. If you know of anyone who would be interested in the position, please ask them to get in touch with the school office so that the appropriate ERC contact details can be passed on. In the meantime we will continue to work alongside you in ensuring our children know how to use the pedestrian crossing safely.
