The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 has brought into being a new way of working with parents by modernising and strengthening the framework for supporting parental involvement in school. The new law is concerned with improving parents‟ involvement in their child‟s education and in the life of the school and has led to the establishment of Parent Forums and Parent Councils in primary, secondary, special and nursery school. Every parent with a child at school is automatically a member of the school Parent Forum. The Parent Council is a representative group composed of parents, head teacher, and co-opted members. The Parent Council has a range of functions which fall broadly within the following areas:
- supporting the school in its work with pupils
representing the view of parents - promoting contact between the school, parents, pupils, providers of nursery education and the community
- reporting to the Parent Forum
Next PC Meeting will take place in school on Thursday 1st February at 6pm
