With a new term, comes a new election and a new parliament. We've reduced the number of roles this year to allow children more of a chance to bring their own individuality to the positions.
We are the School Parliament and we are the ‘voice’ of the children here at Mundy Junior School. We were voted for by our classmates and meet every week as a team to discuss key aspects of our school. We have these meetings with our school’s SLT (Senior Leadership Team) and discuss our thoughts, feelings and recommendations.
The School Parliament meets frequently to agree an agenda for that term and future projects.
The agenda for Autumn 2023:
- The school parliament has been approached by Heanor Town Council if they would be interested in some benches from the current Heanor square rejuvenation programme.
- To create a friendship area in the school playground with games.
- To make a mosaic that includes the school parliament.
Key events that we are involved in:
- Macmillan Coffee Morning
- Parents Curriculum Evening
- Our Visions and Values Meeting
- Harvest
- Parent's Open Evenings
- Visitor walk arounds
What are we up to at Mundy CE Junior School?
The School Parliament, Governors and SLT meet a lot. When we do we discuss what the key priorities are for us at Mundy Junior School.
In English we are concentrating this year on using our library!
In Math’s we are concentrating on making sure we know all of our tables. Such a useful skill through the years.
In our Computing work we continue to work hard to look after our laptops and other pieces of IT equipment around the school.
In our everyday classwork we continue to concentrate on our ’Be’ statements — as School Parliament we try hard to be great role models for everyone at Mundy Junior School.
