Parent Council Members
The current membership of the Parent Council
The Parent Council is elected annually at the AGM of the Parent Forum.
Membership of the Parent Council comprises parent members and up to 6 co-opted members. The Head Teacher attends meetings but is not a member of the Parent Council. Staff representatives, local Councillors and Student Leadership Team representatives are also invited to attend the Parent Council meetings. Members of the Parent Forum are very welcome to attend and to help us deal with accommodation, it is helpful if prior notice can be given of your attendance.
The Parent Council is supported by a Clerk, who takes the minutes.
