Friends and Families of CPS

This is a  forum of parents joined by  the head teacher. East Lothian Councillors can also attend.

What is the role of the this group?

The main duties are to—

• support the school in its work

• consult with and represent the views of parents and carers

• encourage links between the school and its pupils and parents/carers

• report back to all the parents in the school (called the Parent Forum)

• play a role in the appointment of headteachers and depute headteachers

The Chair of the Friends and Families  and other members also have the opportunity to represent the school on the Preston Seton Gosford area partnership and the East Lothian Association of Parent Council Members.

All meetings are held in public and parents and carers are welcome to come along to any meeting of the Council to feed in views and find out more.

Our Parent Council members are:

• Co – Chairs: Louise Nimmo & Heidi Denholm

• Clerk: Anne Thomson

Please feel free to contact Louise or Heidi by email at the following address: parentcouncil@cockenzie.elcschool.org.uk
