The Parent Council’s rights and duties include:

(a) supporting the work of the school

(b) representing the views of parents / carers

(c) consulting with parents / carers and reporting back to the Parent Forum on matters of interest

(d) promoting contact between the school, parents / carers, pupils and the wider community

Members of the Parent Council are selected for a period of two years, after which they may put themselves forward for re-election, if they wish. In the event that the number of volunteers exceeds the number of places, as set out in the constitution, members will be selected by drawing lots. Anyone not selected to be a member of the Parent Council may be offered the opportunity to be part of any sub groups set up by the council.

Each year an Annual General Meeting is held to reassess the composition of our Parent Council. Where appropriate, positions are reallocated and any vacancies are advertised to the Parent Forum.

Bargeddie Primary Parent Council can be contacted by email.  The email address is:  bargeddiepc@hotmail.co.uk

Bargeddie Primary School also encourages pupils to take an active part in decisions affecting them in school and so pupils in our school have an opportunity to become members of Bargeddie Primary School’s Pupil Council.
