Last week, Andy Weir, chair of St Nicholas’ Parent Council, was at a Scottish Government event about Education Governance. The Parent Council would like you to note the following information-

Scottish Government review of Education Governance.

In September, the Scottish Government announced a review of how education services are run – from early-years through to secondary school. The review isn’t just looking at schools, it’s considering all levels of education, qualifications, pupil support, integration with other services.

This is a wide-ranging review, so it is likely to impact on our children’s education in the coming years. There’s full details on the Scottish Government website (make this a link to:https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/empowering-schools/a-governance-review) that we’d recommend you read.

The consultation is running until 6 January. We’d encourage parents and carers to share their views to make sure as many voices are heard by the Scottish Government as possible.

If you’d like to submit feedback through the parent council, please email us at parentcouncil.stnicholasps@gmail.com and we will collate your responses. Alternatively, complete the Scottish Government online survey.
