The Parent Council supports all classes of the school, including the nursery. Nursery parents are very welcome to attend meeting or join the Parent Council. The Parent Council has a notice board in the main entrance of the school.

- identify issues you want the parent council, to work on with the school;
- be asked your opinion by the parent council on issues relating to the school and the education it provides;
- work in partnership with staff; and
- enjoy taking part in the life of the school in whatever way possible.
