What we do
The parent council helps parents and carers be a part of enhancing their children’s school environment and experience. We:
- Fundraise and organise social events to provide more opportunities for the children and improve their school environment
- Help the school in its work with pupils
- Take account of the views of parents and discuss these with the head teacher and the council
- Take part in appointing promoted staff
- Encourage links between the school, parents and carers, pupils, pre-school groups and the community
- Support the school in developing home and school partnerships
- Make use of the skills, knowledge and experience that parents can offer
How you can help
All parents/carers are part of Brunstane Primary School parent forum and you can express your views via the parent council.
The parent council is also open to anyone who wants to use their time and skills to help their child and others more, through their time at Brunstane Primary School.
There are also other simple ways you can support the school <link to other simple ways to support the school>
