What is the Parent Forum?
The 2006 Parental Involvement Act states that every school in Scotland has a Parent Forum which consists of all the parents/carers who have a child at the school. They are automatically members, whether they like it or not!   The Parent Forum can expect to:
receive information about the school
decide on the format of the Parent Council and how it operates
identify issues for the Parent Council
be consulted by the Parent Council
express views through the Parent Council.
What is the Parent Council?
The Parent Council is the committee appointed by the Parent Forum to run matters on its behalf.  A Parent Council is not run by the school or the local authority but by the parents in the school.  The local authority should support a Parent Council both financially and through advice/support.

4. ST MARKS PARENT COUNCIL
What do Parent Councils do?
The main aim of the Parent Council is to help the school operate as a successful school and to try to represent all parents/carers.
