PPHPS School Council

Making a positive contribution

What is a School Council?
Our School Council is made up of a group of pupils (2 from each class) who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and to improve the School.
Each year voting takes place in the voting booths, for the children who have campaigned to be elected to the School Council. Mrs West then announces the children who have been successful in their campaigns in the next whole school assembly. The children are presented with their School Council badges during this time.

What does it do?
The School Council meets (with a teacher present) to discuss and sort out problems and ideas. These may include how we can improve our school, how we work together to help solve problems and to share ideas for fundraising events. Members of the School Council are responsible for carrying out ideas that they have agreed, such as planning charity events, meeting with local MP’s and putting forward views of other children in the School.

We hope you enjoy looking at our web-page.

Red Nose Day 15th March

Our school was filled with colour and brightness today as we recognised Red Nose Day charity day. Thank you to those parents who have made a donation.

Children in Need and Pudsey Bear Coins Collection
Thank you to everyone who has made a contribution to our Children in Need appeal. 
This morning, the School Council ventured out to Pudsey Leisure Centre in the mini buses to deliver our donations from Primrose Hill. Pudsey Bear was amazed to see the amount of money we were carrying and commented on how wonderful we all looked in our bright spotty outfits. The
children enjoyed adding the coins to the giant bear in the sports hall.

School Council Project with Friends of Primrose Hill

In Summer Term, the School Council have been working on an appeal to improve the games and other activities in the classroom during wet playtimes. After shopping online and making a spreadsheet of their dream toys, they asked the Friends of Primrose Hill for some help with the funding. The children were ecstatic to see the boxes of toys piled up and enjoyed distributing a whopping £900 worth of toys to their own classes.

The School Council would like to thank the Friends of Primrose Hill for their generosity.

Denim for Dementia day

Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the Denim for dementia day today. Children
have been learning about dementia and how it affects people. This included playing
memory games and we were lucky to have Faye and Clare in school this afternoon for an assembly which helped to explain the charity to our children as well as listening to a performance from
Clare!

Children in Need

Thank you to everyone who has donated to this year’s Children in Need appeal. It was great to see our school so spotty and bright today!
Members of the School Council took £111.34 worth of coins that have been donated, to Pudsey Leisure Centre and added them to the huge total – thank you for these donations, especially during these challenging times.

Denim for Dementia –

In school today it has been wonderful to see all the children and staff wearing their denim attire. The children have completed a range of activities which have included role play, watching videos, quizzes and even adding their kind thoughts to a giant pair of jeans. Thank you for all your contributions.
