Parent Council

A Parent Council is a group of parents selected by members of the parent forum to represent all the parents at a school on a voluntary basis. All parents/carers in a school are automatically members of the parent forum of that school.

The purpose of a Parent Council is to:

• support the school in its work with parents
• represent the views of all parents
• encourage links between school, parents,pupils, pre-school groups and the wider community

At Linlithgow Primary we strongly value the contribution parents make to the life of the school community. We have a large representation of parents who help in classes, supporting pupils and teachers to deliver for our children. We are always looking to involve parents more, if you would like to be more involved, have special skills you think might be useful or simply want to help on outings and trips, then please contact the school office, we'd love to hear from you.

The Parent Council is the link between the parents and the school. All parents are automatically members of the Parent Council and are welcome to attend Parent Council meetings and have their say. The Parent Council also contains an active fundraising group (FaST) which supports the school.

The Parent Council and FaST can be contacted by email at:

Parent Councils operate in accordance with a local constitution. Parents can put themselves forward to be members of the Parent Council in accordance with that constitution.
