Parent Teacher Association
Since 1979 there has been an active Parent Teacher Association at the school. Five office bearers are appointed and the committee consists of all parents of pupils at the school. They meet throughout the year to discuss fund raising activities and how these funds should be used.

Parent Helpers
Parents also assist staff in the running of parties, sports, educational outings and with different activities in the classrooms.
The school has already benefited considerably from the money raised and the help and support given by all parents involved.

School Board
Crathes School Board was set up in November 1989 and consists of four elected parent representatives, one staff representative and two co-opted members.
Members are elected or co-opted for a period of four years.
The School Board works to promote Crathes School and to represent the views of parents, community and staff on a wide variety of issues. The School Board has been involved in issues as diverse as staffing levels, improvements to school buildings, erection of additional classroom, safety and anti-bullying.
