Mu Dheidhinn Sinne
About us

Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce Parent Council are a group of parent and carer volunteers who represent the views of the parents at Edinburgh’s Gaelic school, and engage in activities which support and advance the education of pupils attending the school. The Parent Council of Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce was established under the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006.

What does the Parent Council do?

The parent council represents the views of the parents at Taobh na Pàirce, voicing the issues that are important to the families to the school and to the local authority, fostering strong home school partnerships ensuring that parents and carers know that their views matter, and where they feel confident and comfortable putting them forward.

The Parent Council of Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce supports the running of the school, working closely with the senior management team to identify key educational and developmental priorities and how best to engage the parents their children’s learning and in the life of the school.  

Taobh na Pàirce Parent Council works across the city with other Parent Councils and the Council to address areas of common and specific interest in our children’s education – this is through the Locality meetings with Primary and Secondary PCs in the North East and South East – as well as the city-wide Consultative Committee with Parents. And on specific Gaelic Medium matters the PC is represented on the Gaelic Implementation Group which oversees the delivery of the Council’s Gaelic Language Plan (currently 2024-2029).

Events & Fundraising We run a calendar of events throughout the school year to build a sense of community and raise funds to support the well-being and education of children attending the school. These events are a great way for families to get involved in the life of the school, to meet other parents and teachers, and to build a sense of community. The events are also the main source of the Parent Council’s fundraising. The money raised by the Parent Council events is spent on a wide range of activities and materials that support and enhance our children’s education and we are always open to offers of help. If you have an idea, the Events & Fundraising Group would love to hear it!

Meetings we meet on TEAMS and in person at least once a term. Meetings are open to all parents and carers of children attending Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce to raise matters, ask questions, or just listen in. The Headteacher attends and gives an update.

Funding Anyone in the school community can apply for Parent Council funding via our Small Sums Scheme. Projects have included chess sets and timers for Club Tàileasg; free school jumpers for all new C1s; Young Carer initiatives. We also apply for external funding, and with a grant from Edinburgh Airport in 2025 we were able to buy and install play equipment in our playground for the first time.
