Welcome!

Parents

Being part of a Parent Council or Parent Teacher Association can be rewarding and fun. It can also be challenging, for lots of reasons. There are many positives to be gained, as you make new friends, get to know and support your school and learn new skills - but we also understand the frustrations, questions and issues that can arise
