On Wednesday, 7th June, the NPFS leadership team and several representatives attended the 2023 Scottish Education Awards. The event was a tremendous celebration of all that’s good about Scotland’s schools and teachers – and our chair, Cheryl Burnett, was on hand to present the award for Parent and Family Engagement. This year’s winners are the Perth and Kinross Council Parent and Family Learning team.

Thanks to everyone who submitted nominations, and our heartfelt congratulations to the other finalists: Lornshill Academy, Clackmannanshire and Lochside Primary School and Early Learning Centre, Angus.

We wish you all the very best for your continued, successful engagement with parents and carers across Scotland!
