The Parent Council replaces the former School Board and Parent-Teacher Association. It came into being in 2007 as a result of new legislation. At Madras College it consists of up to 30 parents elected from the Parent Forum, and a range of co-opted members. The Parent Council aims:
-
to work in partnership with the school to create a welcoming school
-
to be inclusive for all (parents, pupils, teachers, wider community)
-
to promote partnerships between the school, its pupils, all its parents and community
-
to develop and engage in activities which support the education and welfare of pupils
-
to identify and represent the views of parents on the education provided by the school, and on other matters affecting the education and welfare of the pupils
