Welcome to Our Parent Council
Our Parent Council objectives are to:
- help the school achieve the vision
- promote good relationships between parents, families and the school
- represent parents’ views on the education provided by the school and other matters affecting pupils
- provide a forum for parents to contribute and support the education and welfare provided by the school
- raise funds to support education and wellbeing activities.
A ‘parent’ can be any adult with caring responsibility for a Balmullo school pupil.
Meetings are open to any parent who can get along. And if you can’t make a meeting, don’t let that put you off, there are lots of ways you can get involved
- come along to help out at a disco
- sell raffle tickets
- or share your ideas and skills with us in another way.
The Parent Council Constitution (link below) explains more about how we run.
We meet once a term, and more often if arranging a specific event. Dates are advertised in the Parent Weekly SWAYs, on our Facebook Page or via class WhatsApp Groups.

If you fancy a chat to find out more, join the Balmullo Parent Council Facebook Page or email the school and they will put you in touch with a Class Rep.
Are you interested in getting together with other parents, grandparents and carers who have a shared interest in our school?
Have you got fundraising ideas?
Are you good at organising events?
Would you like to get more involved in the school?
Class Representatives – Class Reps help build a sense of community among parents and can be a liaison between parents and the school. We attend Parent Council Meetings and can raise things for you if you’re unable to make it yourself.
How to contact us?
- Chat to us in the playground. We all work, so attendance in the playground varies. But we have a rep for each class, so you can choose to contact another rep if you see them first.
- Message us via our Parent Council Facebook page
- Ask the school office to pass a message onto us. Please leave your email/phone number so we can get back to you.
