A school council is a group of pupils elected by their fellow pupils to represent their opinions and raise issues with your headteacher and governors in the school. The school council can also take forward projects on behalf of the pupils, and be involved in planning and things like the School Development Plan, governing body meetings and interviewing staff.
To be effective, the school council must:
Our school council is made up of pupils from Year 3 - 6. Children from each class are democratically chosen at the start of each school year by their classmates to represent the views of their class at council meetings.
Children in EYFS and KS1 are represented by children in older classes who put across any issues.
It is a great compliment to those pupils that are chosen, as it shows that their peers have placed their trust in them.
During the year, the Council take part in a variety of activities which help to provide information about the well-being of our pupils and how to make our school a better place for everyone. They meet every two week with Mr Hollinshead.
Being a member of School Council is a rewarding and important role.
