The Possible Schools Initiative

We are the only estate agency in Scotland who will make a donation to a local primary school for every property we list in that area, before it's even sold - go us!

Every time we bring on a new property, we donate £25 to a primary school in the catchment area for that home. Our ground-breaking and community-centric initiative helps to support our young kids, contributes towards school trips, learning materials and their development.

Our Parent Council is all about working together to make our school the best it can be - and we’d love for you to join us at our next meeting. Due to falling attendance some classes don’t currently have a parent representative, which means their voices aren’t being heard when we plan fundraising and support activities.

Your ideas and input really matter, and being part of the council is a great way to stay connected and make a difference.

Come along to our next meeting:

📅 Tuesday 20th January

🕕 6:00 PM

📍 School GP Room (blue door from staff car park)

Let’s make sure every class has a voice.

We can’t wait to see you there!

We know many parents would like to help support the school but aren't always sure what joining the Parent Council actually means - especially when it comes to time commitment. 

Take a look at our leaflet which will give you a clear and honest overview to help you decide if it's right for you.

We'd really love for more parents/carers to come along to our parent council meetings. We'd appreciate if you could take a minute to complete our survey, so we can arrange meetings on days and times that work better for more families. We’re always keen to welcome new faces, hear fresh perspectives, and gather your ideas. 

We really are a friendly bunch, and we’d be delighted to have you join us!

We are grateful to everyone who joins our meetings and value your input. Our aim is to keep meetings to 1 hour, however sometimes discussions can go on longer than planned and we want to ensure everyone's voice is heard. There is no time limit to how long you join the meeting for, come for as long as you can. Everything discussed is captured in the minutes which are held on our Padlet for you to read after in your own time.

For in person meetings held in school, there will be a children's drawing/colouring station set up for anyone struggling for childcare but would still like to come along to the meeting.

The agenda for our upcoming meeting on the 11th March @ 7pm can be found on Padlet. Click on the following link to join the meeting - PC meeting 11th March 7pm

Management Arrangements - Errol Primary School

Following this afternoons email advising that Mr Donnachie has resigned from his post as Headteacher at Errol Primary School, the parent council have been approached by a number of parents.

As a parent council we have contacted PKC this evening to seek reassurance and clarity on how they intend to manage this period of uncertainty and change.

We all share the same concerns for how unsettling this is for all the staff, pupils and families.

We will provide an update once a response has been received.

Please see attached response from PKC further to email sent by the parent council on 18th June.
