Parent / carer focus group

We are looking for a few parents or carers to join us next Tuesday (25th March) at 2pm.

Next week the school is undertaking a self-evaluation process with the council. As part of this, there will be a focus group for parents and carers.

The Focus Group will look at what the school is doing well in relation to parental involvement and engagement, and consider what they could do better.

We want to give the school and education dept a wide and representative view of our feelings, so if you’re able to come, please email intouch@broughtonhighpc.org ASAP. You can attend in person or via Teams. 

If you can’t come but have things to say, please email so we can include your views.

Developing the Young Workforce invite you to participate in our Maths in Action event at Broughton High School, Edinburgh, on Monday, 31st March, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. This event is designed to bring mathematics to life for our S3 pupils by showcasing its practical applications in various industries.

We are seeking enthusiastic professionals to lead a 20-minute hands-on activity for small groups of 15 pupils, demonstrating how maths is used in the real world. This is a fantastic opportunity to inspire young minds, highlight career pathways, and showcase the significance of mathematical skills in your industry.

Feedback needed – CEC inclusion review

Dear Parents and Carers

City of Edinburgh Council have been undertaking an Inclusion Review, the results of which would have an impact on how various education services are staffed and run. If you’ve been to Parent Council meetings you’ll have heard us talk about this. All Parent Councils have now been asked to give feedback, so watch the video and email us your thoughts at intouch@broughtonhighpc.org. PLEASE RESPOND BY SUNDAY 2ND MARCH.  

We will then send feedback to the council on behalf of Broughton Parents. 

Video is here: https://clickv.ie/w/flw0  

Questions from CEC:

  • Do you agree with the overall vision for Inclusive Education in Edinburgh?
  • Do you agree with the drivers of this re-organisation?
  • What are the benefits of moving to the proposed structure?
  • What are your concerns of moving to this proposed structure?
  • What ideas do you have to reduce any concerns?

Thanks very much!
