A.O.B.

Communication between councillor and class teacher

Mrs Thompson addressed school council about Classteachers spending time with their class discussing school council matters, so other pupils can get involved and raise their issues. Only 2 class teachers do discuss school council with their class and their councillors do bring back feedback for various matters.

Mrs Thompson addressed school council again to ask how many councillors approach their class teachers themselves to ask if their teacher will discuss matters. Again only 2 councillors came forward and have asked their teachers. Mrs Thompson addressed council again that being a school councillor is an important role in school and communication is poor between school councillor and teacher.

Soon to start an school council surgery one playtime every week over the next few weeks were all pupils are invited to pop along to raise their concerns/issues either verbally or written. Mrs Thompson will sort a rota for councillors to be picked to do the surgery. Meeting ran over, so this ongoing in to the next meeting.

As Mrs Lacey has left to start her new post, our school are waiting to appoint a new head. The school governors has requested that school council are to join in and help in the process of appointing a new head. At the beginning of the week on first day returning Mrs Sargent spoke to whole school during assembley regarding the new headship and for each class to discuss and make their own questions towards a final questionaire to ask all candidates applying for the Headship post. On friday 24th April school council had a meeting  to draw up a final questionaire of 10-15 questions.

School Council will have another meeting this coming Tuesday just to make final adjustments to the final questionaire before meeting the headteachers applicants next Wednesday.
