The Scottish Schools (Parent Involvement) Act 2006 makes provision for the involvement of parents in their children's education and in school education generally.
The Act also outlines the establishment of a Parent Council made up of parents representing the views of the parental group as a whole.
Douglas Academy Parent Council was established June 2007 and plays an active role in supporting parental involvement in the work and the life of Douglas Academy and provides opportunities for parents to express their views on children’s education and learning.
Key activities that Douglas Academy Parent Council are involved in are :
Supporting the work of the school.
Representing parents’ views to the Headteacher, education authority and HMIE.
Promoting activities and initiatives to improve education, learning and welfare of the schools’ pupils.
Providing communication link between education authority, school, pupils and parent forum.
Selection and appointment of senior staff.
Further details of the Parent Council responsibilities are defined in the Parent Council constitution.
Parent Council meetings are held 3 or 4 times per annum in the school conference room and open to any member of the parent forum.
