In August 2007 the Parent Forum and a Parent Council were set up under the provisions of the Scottish (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 to maximise and improve parental involvement. The legislation recognises the strength and value of parental involvement and aims to make it a central part of the education system. All parents and guardians of children at the school are automatically members of the Parent Forum. Members of the Parent Council are elected by the Parent Forum from all the parents on the Forum. Parents may co-opt other members including school staff, pupils and members of the community onto the Parent Council. A copy of the Parent Council constitution is appended at the end of this booklet.

We seek the views of parents regularly – at the AGM, after workshops, through individual questionnaires, meetings and at Parents’ afternoons and evenings. We strive to promote an open environment where parents feel welcome to discuss their child’s learning at any time.
