The Head Teacher has a right and a duty to attend all meetings of the Parent Council. Meetings of the Parent Council are open to members of the public and will be announced in the newsletters and on the school app.\u00a0 If a vacancy becomes open on the Parent Council all parents will be informed and invited to nominate themselves. The Parent Council in St Bernadette\u2019s is very supportive of the school and works hard to represent the views of the wider Parent Forum.\u00a0 Any parent can make direct contact with members of the Parent Council if they have a concern related to the general work of the school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

decisions on placing requests by parents in respect of those situations where the number<\/strong><\/p>\n

of placing requests for a particular school or for a particular stage in a particular school<\/strong><\/p>\n

exceeds the number of places available.<\/strong><\/p>\n
