Parent Council

Our Parent Council supports the school in a variety of ways.  They are very proactive and are an integral part of our school community.  They work hard to raise funds and have had some very successful fundraising events, e.g. our family bingo nights are always popular.  They have organised discos for the children and taken part in the school fayres.  As a result, they are usually able to sponsor the Primary 7 Leavers’ gifts, Literacy prize and our Sports’ Day medals and snacks to name but a few.  During Lockdown, they sourced and delivered a variety of craft packs to each child.  They also subsidise our Primary 7 residential visit to Arran each year.

Chairperson: Sandra McKeaveney

Secretary:     Laura Jayne Reid

Treasurer:     Fiona Graham

There is also a group of parents who support the core group when events are being planned.

Every parent is a member of the Parent Forum and as such is made very welcome at each meeting.  Details of meetings are sent out in advance and under the current climate conditions we hold these virtually over Microsoft Teams.

Parentzone Scotland is a unique website for parents and carers in Scotland, from early years to beyond school.  The website provides up-to-date information about learning in Scotland, and practical advice and ideas to support children’s learning at home in literacy, numeracy, health and wellbeing and science.

Information is also available on Parentzone Scotland regarding additional support needs, how parents can get involved in their child’s school and education.  Furthermore, the website has details about schools including performance data for school leavers from S4-S6; and links to the national, and local authority and school level data on the achievement of Curriculum for Excellence levels.
