Parent Forum and Parent Council
Parent Forum
All parents are automatically members of a Parent Forum at their child’s school. As members of the Parent Forum parents have a say in selecting the Parent Council (the representative body) which works on behalf of all parents at the school.
Parent Council
The role of the Parent Council is to:
- support the school in its work with pupils
- 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
The Chair of our Parent Council is Carrie MacKinnon who can be contacted by email at: carrie_fee@yahoo.co.uk
For more information on the Act or to find out about parents as partners in the children’s learning please contact the school or visit the Parent Zone website: www.parentzonescotland.gov.uk

We are delighted to announce that as of Monday 24th February 2020, Castlebay School Nursery will operate a full day service. Our new opening hours will be Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.30pm. These opening times will be available in both playrooms. We will be offering a full year service, with both playrooms open during term-time and one bi-lingual playroom open during holiday periods. This is an exciting time and we hope that this service will be an extended support for our island families. Thanks to all parents and carers for assisting in this transition period.
