A Foreword from the Executive Director of Education, and Children’s Services
Session 2025 – 2026
Dear Parent/Carer,
This brochure contains a range of information about your child’s school which will be of interest to you and your child. It offers an insight into the life and ethos of the school and also offers advice and assistance which you may find helpful in supporting and getting involved in your child’s education.
We are committed to working closely with parents and carers as equal partners in your child’s education, in the life of your child’s school and in city-wide developments in education.
- Parental involvement in the decision-making process and in performance monitoring are an integral part of school life. We look forward to developing that partnership with your support.
- Throughout this handbook the term ‘parent’ has the meaning attributed in the Standards in Scotland’s Schools Act 2000 and the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006. This includes grandparents, carer or anyone else who has parental responsibility for the child.
I am pleased to introduce this brochure for session 2025/26 and hope that it will provide you with the information you need concerning your child’s school.
If you have any queries regarding the contents of the brochure please contact the Head Teacher of your child’s school in the first instance who will be happy to offer any clarification you may need.
Amanda Hatton
Executive Director of Children, Education & Justice Services
