The recently published Education Scotland Act 2016 and the HGIOS4 both contain dedicated sections which emphasise the need for schools and parents to work effectively to enhance pupil progress and school improvement. To that end two surveys have been created for schools and parents to reflect and comment on current practice and suggest how parental engagement might be improved. Please find attached a survey, we would appreciate if you would complete this by 30th September. The survey is available through Survey Monkey at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/NLparentssep2016 Written by Mr McGilp.
