Tynsel Parkes School Council is comprised of 2 representatives each from the KS1 and KS2 classes. Mr Baxter supports the children by meeting with them every half-term to discuss issues and ideas that the other pupils of the academy have raised. The EYFS children are supported by Mrs Helm and Mrs Mellor to share their ideas.
What is the purpose of our School Council?
- To allow the children at Tynsel Parkes C.E. Primary Academy to have a voice and to enjoy their right as stated in Article 12 of the UNCRC, which states that they have the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously
- To help the school and community be a better place
- To help to improve learning in the school
- To raise funds for the school
What do we expect from our School Councillors?
All School Council members must:
- be respectful and listen to others
- contribute or participate actively in meetings
- follow the school rules and be role models to other pupils
- model good behaviour at all times
- be polite and courteous to others
- not refer to specific individuals or groups during discussions
- use their position on School Council to support and develop their school and peers and not abuse this position in any way
We look forward to sharing our successes and news with you as the year progresses!
