What is ‘School Council’?
We value the opinions of our pupils and want our pupils to have a voice in the running of their school to make their school experience the best it can be. School council gives pupils an extra opportunity to share these opinions about their life in our school and take action on the matters that are important to them.
At the beginning of each school year, new school council representatives from Y1-6 are elected. Children nominate themselves through a ‘job application’ form whereby they express their beliefs about themselves and their opinions on school improvements.
School council representatives meet regularly, reviewing progress made on ideas at the end of each term. Our group undertakes activities in response to ideas raised and voted on.
Who are we?
Miss Smith runs our school council and our pupil members for 2025-26 are below:
