Parents' Council

Parents' Council

What is a Parents’ Council and what do they do?


All parents of children attending Oakwood Integrated Primary School are members of the Parents’ Council.

The role of Parents’ Council includes the promotion of Oakwood as an integrated, inclusive, all-ability school, welcoming new parents and organising activities to support and provide resources for the school.

The Education Training Inspectorate (ETI) stated in our ETI Inspection Report, November 2024 that:

The parents/carers are invited to engage regularly with the school community through, for example, participating in stay-and-play sessions and the super learning days. The active parents’ council works along with the children on the school council to support a local foodbank.

Ms Geraldine McClenaghan is our Chairperson and Mrs Lynda Whinnery is Secretary.  The Council also includes the School Principal (or Vice principal in the absence of the School Principal) who attends all meetings.

Our meetings are usually held on a Monday morning from 9-10am in the staffroom. Everyone Welcome!
