PARENT COUNCIL 

NEXT MEETING

NEW DATE: WEDNESDAY 17 APRIL 2024 AT 6.30 PM 

VENUE: THE MILL, MILLBURN ACADEMY

Millburn Academy’s Parent Council aims to help parents/guardians/carers become more actively and effectively involved in their children's learning and school experience. It is recognised that parents play an important role both in supporting their own child's learning and in the life of their school. 

The Parent Council has a formal constitution available here (Constitution) which is agreed with the Highland Council. 

Our Parent Council:

·         provides a voice for parents, in our school and local authority, on issues that are important to you and your children

·         helps the school to understand how to most effectively involve parents in your child's learning and in the life of the school

·         supports the school, and headteacher, in developing strong home/school partnerships

·         supports school development and improvement, and encourages links with the wider community

·         captures the unique and varied skills, interests, knowledge and experience that parents can offer

A positive relationship between our school and the parent council is invaluable in supporting our young people to strive to be the best they can be.  Matters relating to individual children or staff in the school are not discussed at Parent Council.

Our parent council meets approximately once a term, and all parents/guardians/carers are welcome to attend. Information about these meetings will be shared on the school website (website) and on our social media platforms – PC Facebook page to be established.

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held during the first school term (June) and is when new Parent Council members and Office Bearers are elected.

Meetings usually take place on a Wednesday at 6.30pm in The Mill at the school.
