School Council
Our School Council has 11 members from Y3 to Y6, with each child being elected from their class through a vote. Our House Captains, who have been elected via a democratic vote across KS2, also join the School Council.
The School Council meets with Mrs Campbell each week and work through an action plan which they create at the start of the year. The meetings follow an agenda, which is set each week, and the children are supported to take it in turns to be the chair for each meeting.
Our School Council are a fundamental part of our committment to making sure that every child in our school has the right to be heard. The school councillors are a voice for their classmates and bring their ideas, opinions, suggestions and concerns to the meetings. As well as speaking directly to the school council, pupil voice is collected through suggestion boxes, questionnaires and on the playgrounds.
Within their role as School Council representatives, the children meet with the governors and SLT; lead assemblies and workshops for pupils, parents and carers; represent the school at local events; work alongside the charity champions to raise awareness of local and global issues; run Pupil Parliament across the whole school; liaise with the school cook to feedback pupils' views and opinions on lunches; and inform the school about the work they have done on their behalf.
Over the years, the School Council have played a vital role in school improvement based on the views and opinions of our pupils. The School Council of 24-25, worked tirelessly to campagin and raise awareness for the need to improve the equipment on the KS2 playground to support the mental and physical health of our pupils. They were successful in raising just under £12,000 which bought a new trim trail. We are very proud to continue this year with a new School Council and look forward to celebrating their success.
