In primary school, it is especially important for children to feel stability, support and unity among the adults around them. That is why at Lviv British School we pay great attention to the partnership between the school and the family and have created the Primary School Parents’ Council as a permanent, structured form of interaction.

The Parents’ Council is not a formality or a one-off initiative. It is a vibrant community of responsible parents who work together with the school to ensure that the educational environment is safe, comfortable and conducive to the comprehensive development of each child.

International education experience shows that when schools and parents act as partners, children learn with more confidence and peace of mind. Coordinated decisions, clear rules, and open dialogue create a sense of stability and trust in the school for students.

The Parent Council helps to:

hear the voice of each class and systematise parents’ requests;

discuss issues affecting children’s school life in a timely manner;

avoid misunderstandings through transparent communication;

jointly support initiatives that improve the learning environment.

The Council is formed of 1-2 representatives from each class in the lower school. Participants represent the opinions of their class’s parents, collect suggestions and questions, and bring them to regular meetings with the school administration.

Council meetings are held every two weeks. This format allows for timely responses to requests without building up tension, while keeping the Council’s work effective and structured.
