School Council:
Our School Council has a very important role within school, representing the views and voice of each class. They will help vote on important issues and discuss these with our Principal. We are dedicated to making improvements within our school and local community. Here at Mansel Park Primary and Nursery School we are incredibly proud of our School Council team. Representatives are elected annually from each class across the school. Candidates for School Council present a speech to their peers on why they believe that their attributes best fit the role of a school councillor representative. Over the year, children across the school will be thinking and discussing about how they would make our school a better place and how this contributes to being ‘an architect of a better world’.
We understand the role of a School Councillor Representative involves:
Setting a good example to others in and around Mansel Park
Being an incredible role model to others
Attending regular meetings
Encouraging other pupils to use their voice and share their ideas
Listening to our peers and ensuring everyone is heard
Being brave and using our voice in a large group setting
Explaining why school council have made decisions and what the impact of these decisions are
Continuously reflecting and refining on how we hold discussions to ensure everyone is heard and feels valued
Ensuring we consider all pros and cons when making decisions; so that decisions are fair and have a positive impact on many

School of Sanctuary:
Everybody is welcome at Mansel Park Primary.
Mansel Park Primary School are proud to be striving towards becoming a 'School of Sanctuary' this academic year!
We are are hoping that the awarding body will recognise what a welcoming and special place Mansel Park is.
Achieving School of Sanctuary status is a rigorous process which acknowledges the school’s commitment to embracing values that are seated in equal worth of all. This is taking all of the school community on a journey, focussing on supporting local basic needs, discussions and action around the need to spread opportunity and life chances and finally, to target and challenge unjustified inequalities. Pupils and staff at Mansel Park are working tirelessly to ensure our school community is a safe, warm and welcoming haven for all, where learners thrive.
As part of their work towards the award, pupils will be learning more about sanctuary for those closer to home and across the globe. They have learned about the plight of refugees and asylum seekers around the world. Our children are united in their aim to ensure that our school is a place of refuge.
