This report outlines the initiatives undertaken by Wemyss Bay Primary's Parent Council to boost parental involvement in education. We aim to create an inclusive environment that fosters strong partnerships among the school, its pupils, and parents. Through a series of engaging activities that showcase parents' careers, we encourage collaboration on pupils' welfare and education. The outcomes of these efforts reflect a positive impact, including greater parent participation and support. We explore future steps to solidify this partnership for continuous improvement in our students' educational experiences.
