Parent Council Information
The Next Parent Council Meeting will be:
Kirknewton Primary has 2 parent/carer groups - Parent Council and PSA. Both are groups made up of parents and carers that work closely with the staff of the school.
PSA - The PSA's purpose is to raise funds for the school to allow the purchase of equipment that the school couldn't otherwise afford and to contribute towards opportunities for children thereby reducing cost to parents. The PSA runs a variety of fundraising activities throughout the year.
Parent Council - The Parent Council supports all other aspects of school life and is an important part of liaison between parents/carers and the school and also various activities contributing to school improvement.
The Parent Council meets 5 times per year (roughly once per half term). Meetings are held at 8pm on Zoom, to make them accessible for as many people as possible, and generally last just under an hour. All are welcome to attend and there is no pressure to take part in any way. The meetings are a great opportunity to hear more about what is happening in school. Questions/Points to raise can be sent to me (via email or your class rep) prior to the meeting. These questions are anonymous prior to me sending them on to Mrs Hughes making it a good opportunity to raise anything you are concerned or unsure about.
If you have any questions or comments about any of this please contact me via the PC email address, Kirknewtonparentcouncil@gmail.com, or via your class rep.
