Parent Council/Parent Teacher Association
Welcome to Quarter Primary Parent Council and Parent Teacher Association. We are currently a group of 12 parent/carers who represent the parent community in working alongside the school across a range of activities.
The objective of the Parent Council is to offer all parents the opportunity to have their say in their child’s education. Parent Council members can take forward any educational issues and suggestions on behalf of parents as well as fundraise for the school.
