MAPP Details
Unlike the old School Boards where parents were elected onto the Board, every parent is automatically a member of MAPP and the more parents that attend meetings then the more effective MAPP can be.
If you have any queries at all then please contact:
- the MAPP Clerk, Ms Murray at Morgan Academy - Gloria.murray@dundeecity.gov.uk
or
- Mr Grant Simmons - grant.simmons@swiis.com
We look forward to seeing you at one of the meetings.
Mr Stephen Shaw
Rector

| Awards for all Report | Shelly Booth explained about the equipment that the Grant money (£7,628) would be spent on. At the moment there was a question of where the equipment would be sited as everyone felt that it would be difficult to manage within Morgan Academy school grounds. After much discussion it was agreed that everyone felt that it might be better sighted at the DISC although this will be discussed and investigated further. It was suggested that a Lunch time or after school club could be set up by the new sports co-ordinator (Jane Dunlop). There was also a question if this was handed over to the community there may be a possibility of applying for further funding from the cluster Support Team. The MAPP members are now happy to step back and act as a support only to this venture and allow all further discussions and decisions to be made by J Dunlop (sports co-ordinator) S Gossip (PE Principal teacher), the Pupil Council and S Shaw (Rector) |

J Reilly has been sent Survey monkey to fill in with regards to the possible change to the holiday dates.
