It’s always a pleasure to attend Parent Council meetings to meet with both school staff and parents who form a large part of our communities. Tonight Westhill Academy Parent Council hosted a joint meeting with Parent Councils from the primary feeder schools. Parents were able to ask questions about the transition programme for their P7 children moving up to the “big” school. Staff talked through the programme and gave an insight in to the ethos of the school for newcomers. Head Teacher, Derek Thompson, gave a staffing update as well as a briefing on management plans for leavers’ day next Friday.
