Hi
You may recall that we carried out a Snap Poll in early October to establish the views of Parents on the delivery of the 2020/21 exam diet. We are now looking to capture the views of parents/carers across the country. It is clear that COVID is impacting everyone differently across the various Local Authority regions and in some schools the level of disruption to our young people’s learning is significant, yet in other areas of the country there is little impact. With that in mind we would like to know to what extent, if any, parents and carers are concerned about the impact the current health restrictions will have on their child’s preparation for Higher and Advanced Higher exams. We are looking to establish if there is any differences of opinions between the different Local Authority areas, so please take a minute to complete this short survey in full.
Below is the link to our survey which is aimed directly at the Parents and Carers of pupils sitting Highers and/or Advanced Highers, to help us establish how COVID has impacted on their learning and preparation for their exams in 2021
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/3HFM9K9
The closing date for the survey is the 30th November 2020 so please feel free to share.
We really need to hear your voice!
Should you wish any further information on the National Parent Forum of Scotland or would like a copy of our findings once published, please visit our website or email us using the address below.
Thank you

Clyde Valley High School (CVHS) has a Parent Council which brings together parents, staff and co-opted members, with the Head Teacher as professional advisor.
The Parent Council has duties rights and responsibilities to the management of the school these include:
We also seek opportunities to allow integration and positive links with the wider community.
We have a small fundraising committee to try to generate fundraising ideas in able to provide exciting opportunities to support and allow our children to flourish as well as promoting the school in our community. Recently we have held two entertainment nights (Abbamania and George Michael/Michael Bublé tribute) with two more nights booked. The money raised so far has funded a new piano for the music department and a Christmas trip to George Square for the school's nurture group.
Our meetings take place in the school at 7 pm on the last Wednesday of every month during term time and are kept relatively informal. Please check the school calendar for confirmation of dates.
Examples of what has happened during our recent meetings are:
We are always looking for new parents to come on board. It is an excellent way to find out what is happening in the school and also a great way to get to know some of the teaching staff. We are a friendly welcoming group and would love your input into our children and our school.
