Ellon Academy Parent Council
The follwing pages support the work of the Parent Council at Ellon Academy. Ellon Academy Parent Council was established following the 2006 Scottish Schools Parental Involvement Act to replace the School Board and PTA.
Why do we need a Parent Council ?
The Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 gives parents the right to receive information about their children's education and to be represented and have their views expressed through the Parent Council.
Because parents are important and make a real difference to children's learning - when parents are involved children and young people do better and achieve more
To work together with everyone involved in school life - parents, learners, teachers, school staff and the wider community - to support the school
To make sure that all parents have a say in their children's education - and are able to express their views and wishes
To build links and involve parents with the wider learning community
To listen to what parents want the Parent Council to do and report back to the Parent Forum
