Parent Council AGM Minutes August 2023<\/a><\/p>\n

Next Meeting<\/h2>\n

27th of September at 6:30pm at Westquarter Primary School.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a parent council?<\/h2>\n

Parent Councils are the formal representative body for parents \/ carers with children attending school. Parent Councils are different in each school to enable them to meet the needs of parents \/ carers locally.<\/p>\n

Parents are welcomed to be:
\n\u2022 involved with their child\u2019s education and learning;
\n\u2022 be active participants in the life of the school; and
\n\u2022 express their views on school education generally and work in partnership with their children’s schools.<\/p>\n

All parents \/ carers are automatically members of the Parent Forum at their child\u2019s school. As a member of the Parent Forum all parents can expect to \u2013<\/p>\n

\u2022 receive information about the school and its activities;
\n\u2022 hear about what partnership with parents means in our school;
\n\u2022 be invited to be involved in ways and times that suit you;
\n\u2022 identify issues you want the Parent Council to work on with the school;
\n\u2022 be asked your opinion by the Parent Council on issues relating to the school and the education it provides;
\n\u2022 work in partnership with staff; and
\n\u2022 enjoy taking part in the life of the school in whatever way possible.<\/p>\n

The Parent Forum decides how their representatives on the Parent Council are chosen and how the Parent Council operates. Parents \/ carers are encouraged to volunteer or put themselves forward to be chosen as representatives of the Parent Council if they wish.<\/p>\n

The main aims of the Parent Council are:
\n\u2022 To support the school in its work with pupils
\n\u2022 To represent the views of parents
\n\u2022 To promote contact between the school, parents, pupils, providers of nursery education and the community
\n\u2022 To report to the Parent Forum
\n\u2022 To be involved in the appointment of senior promoted staff.
\n\u2022 To raise funds for the school for the benefit of pupils (in some schools the PTA\/PA fulfils this role).<\/p>\n
