Minutes from Parent Council Meeting 8 May 2024

Dear Parent/Carer

I am writing to you regarding some changes we hope to make to improve the service you receive from the summer playscheme your child has previously attended at Riverbrae school. I am aware how much you and your child value the opportunity to attend the playscheme during the summer holidays. We are looking at ways that we can improve the services on offer and also potentially offer your child more time to attend the play-scheme, if this is something you/they would wish.
