The Parent Forum
As a parent/carer of a child at this school you are automatically a member of the Parent Forum.
The Parent Forum is composed of all the parents and carers of children at the school.
As a member of the Parent Forum you can expect to:
- get information about what your child is learning
- get information about events and activities at the school
- get advice/help on how you can support your child’s learning
- be told about opportunities to be involved with in the school
- have a say in selecting a Parent Council to work on behalf of all parents at the school
- be invited to identify issues for the Parent Council to work on with the school.
Parent Councils came into force on 1 August 2007. The Parent Council’s rights and duties include:
- supporting the work of the school
- representing the views of parents/carers
- consulting with parents and reporting back to the Parent Forum on matters of interest
- promoting contact between the school, parents, pupils and the wider community
- fundraising
- taking part in the selection of senior promoted staff
- receiving reports from the head teacher and education authority
- receiving an annual budget for administration, training and other expenses
Members of Parent Councils, on a voluntary basis, may also have an advisory role in decisions on placing requests by parents in respect of those situations where the number of placing requests for a particular school or for a particular stage in a particular school exceeds the number of places available. The Parent Forum will determine the composition of the Parent Council. The head teacher is the professional adviser to the Parent Council.
