The next Parent Council meeting is on Monday 12th January at 9:10am. 

Please email wallacestone.parentcouncil@gmail.com if you wish to attend.

The Parent Council has the following goals:

1.  To work in partnership with the school to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all parents and carers.
2. To promote partnership between the school, its pupils and all its parents and carers.
3. To develop and engage in activities which support the education and welfare of the pupils.
4. To identify and represent the views of the parents and carers on the education provided by the school and other matters affecting the education and welfare of the pupils.

The Parent Council cannot discuss or deal with issues that are specific to any child or family.  Any concerns about the school, staff, or pupils must be directed to the school in the first instance.
 

All parents, guardians or any other person who has parental responsibilities for children at the school are automatically members of the Parent Forum.  The Parent Council is formed annually from the Parent Forum to represent as widely as possible the views of this forum.   Regular meetings are held between the Parent Council, the school, members of the Pupil Council and local councillors to discuss matters relating to the school.  Any member of the Parent Forum is welcome to attend these meetings.
 

The school and the local council must consult with the Parent Council and take its views into account whenever major decisions are being taken that affect the school.  The Parent Council works with Falkirk Area Parent Forum and other relevant groups to represent parent views to local and national government.
 

The Parent Council’s role is different from that of The Parents’ Association (PAWS) which is a separate body and carries out fund-raising and other activities on behalf of parents, pupils and the school.
