Parent partners is a group who work on a variety of projects throughout the year to benefit the children and the school. All parents of school and nursery children are welcome to join. At the meetings held we are able to discuss ideas and issues concerning the school and the education of the children with the management team.
We have recently merged the fundraising group (PFSA) and the Parent Council to form our Parent Partners group. Parents can concentrate on the projects they wish to be involved with.
The fundraising side includes organising and running the school discos, bingo nights , Christmas Fayre as well as helping at out at other events such as the Scots Assembly and P7 Prom. All monies raised at these events goes back into the school, supporting the children for instance, by subsidising school trips, providing ‘Sumdog’ and in a variety of other ways.
We have developed many different projects within school such as the Developing Young Workforce Week. It was great to see so many parents come into school to talk about their jobs and share their skills with all the children.
This year one of the projects that we would like to focus on is ‘Safe Routes to School’. It would be great to hear the views of any parents about the risks to our kids in getting to school and how we could change this. We will keep you informed of any progress that we make.
We usually have meetings twice a term though there may be more frequent meetings coming up to a school event or if we are required to act upon a specific issue. The meetings have been held in the school on a Wednesday evening at 6pm although we are keen to make times suitable for all.
If you are unable to make the meetings but would like issues to be raised by Parents Partners please email puscps.pc@gmail.com or hand in a note addressed to Parent Partners to the school office. We will let you know the date of the next meeting as soon as possible.
