Who We Are and What We Do

Many people are unsure as to why we have a Parent Council, and what it does, please find below a brief overview for your information:

• A Parent Council exists to help parents and carers to become more involved in their children’s education. They have an important role in a child’s learning and the life of the school.
• The main role of a Parent Council is to support the ChildCare in order to get the best out of it for our children.
• We represent the views of parents and carers.
• We provide a link between the school, parents and the wider community.
• We work closely with the owner of English Childcare Maastricht, who provides regular updates on developments in ChildCare.
• Organise events to raise funds to be used in support of school activities and equipment.
• We raise concerns expressed by parents.

English ChildCare Maastricht Parent Council is currently made up of 3 full members. We are a friendly group who take a positive approach to ensure that all matters reach a satisfactory conclusion.

We meet about once every 3 months for formal meetings, and generally finish within the hour.

The Parent Council is made up of the following members;
