The Role of the Parent Council

Welcome to St Ninian’s High School Parent Council. We are a committee appointed by the Parent Forum to run matters on behalf of all parents/carers who have a child at the school – known as the Parent Forum. It is not run by the school or local authority, rather by the parents in the school.

 

What does the Parent Council do?

  • Improve links between all parents/carers and the school.
  • Ensure parents receive the information they need in an accessible way, and that school staff receives feedback on parents’ views.
  • Discuss issues of interest to parents, i.e. school policies.
  • Optimise parental involvement in their children’s learning.
  • Represent parents’ views to the education authority and others on issues that are a concern to parents, pupils and staff.

What does the Parent Council not do?

Pursue issues regarding individual pupils or parents. These should be discussed with the Pastoral Teacher, Head of year or Head Teacher as appropriate.

 

When are Parent Council meetings?

Meetings are once a month. Dates can be found on Twitter, our Facebook page, or in the Parent Council Newsletter.

 

Who attends the meetings?

Members of the Parent Council alongside the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team. Non-Parent Council members are welcome to attend meetings but would be unable to vote as part of the meeting.
