The role of a Parent Council is to:

· support the school in its work with parents.

· represent the views of all parents.

· encourage links between the school, parents, pupils, pre-school groups and the wider community.

· report back to the Parent Forum (all other parents).

· be involved in the appointment of Head Teachers.

Every school’s Parent Council may be different because it will be parents in each school who decide such things as:

· how their Council is set up.

· what it should be called.

· what size it should be. ( e.g in a small school, all parents may be part of the Parent Council )

· who should be a member of the Parent Council.

· how they should be appointed.

· what will be discussed at meetings.
