Mission Statement
The Parent Council represents the parents’ voice of St Mary’s primary school and nursery.
Our purpose is to create an environment where all parents know that their views matter, and where they feel confident and comfortable that their voice is heard. We work on behalf of all parents to discuss educational matters that are of importance to all, with the goal of providing each child with the best education possible.
Goals
· Work in partnership with the school to decide on the key priorities to take forward;
· Provide a voice for parents in schools and in their local authority on issues that are important to them;
· Improve the school’s understanding of how to engage parents in their children’s learning and in the life of the school;
· Support the school to develop strong home/school partnerships;
· Communicate regularly with the Parent Forum to both hear their views and keep them informed;
· Support improvement by discussing the school’s strengths and areas for development from a parental perspective;
· Help make links with the wider community;
· Capture the unique and varied skills, interests, knowledge and experience that parents can offer.
· Bring together the children and families of St Mary’s through social fundraising events.
