Park Mead Primary

School Council

Meet the School Council for 2023-24

To become part of the School Council at Park Mead the children are voted for by their peers. Children put themselves up for nomination. Each class puts forward 3 candidates and the children vote for their chosen member. Voting took place on Thursday 14th September. This year we had the Waverley's brand new booths and boxes and the children had the chance to experience a very 'real' event. Year 1 - 6 went to the hall to cast their votes and there was much excitement. Each class had sealed ballot papers, voting pencils, stations and boxes. The successful candidates were announced in assembly on World Democracy Day on 15th September.

The children on the council are important to make sure that all children's voices are heard. We have exciting plans this year to have SLT, governors and local councilors attend our meetings. We will keep you posted with minutes after each meeting. Our first task is to look at the name and usage of the brand new MUGA that was built over the summer.

Mrs Fisher

Name the MUGA Pitch

We are also launching a competition to name the MUGA. As families we would like you to think of a name for the new pitch . The names will be shortlisted by the SLT and the final winner will be picked by the School Council. The winner will then ‘officially’ open the pitch with local councillors present and get the opportunity to hire the pitch for 1 hour – free of charge, so get thinking. The competition closes on the 1st December and the opening ceremony organised soon after.
