We are a group made up of parents from the wider parent forum (every parent with a child in school is automatically a member of the Parent Forum) who represent all of the parents/carers at Carstairs Junction Primary School & Early Learning and Childcare (ELC). We are interested in what is going on in the school and want to help the school by representing the views of the parents to the school leadership team. We are engaged in supporting the school with business relevant to education, and curriculum, as well as holding events to raise much needed extra funds for our school.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
I have a question but can’t attend a meeting, what can I do?
No problem. You can raise an idea, issue or concern with any of our council members and they can raise it at the next meeting on you behalf.
