School Council
The school has a team called School Council, which is a group of representatives from every year group. One child from each class is nominated and voted in by the pupils in their class as the class School Councillor, respresenting their class at the weekly school council meetings.
What do the School Council do?
The School council meet regularly and talk about how they could make the school an even better place. They work on different projects involving rights, thinking about our school environment and what a good learner looks like. Every week each representative shares what they discussed in their previous meeting with their class. The classes are fully involved in any decisions School Council makes.
Over the last two years, the School Council have helped support with fundraising and decision making in the following areas:
1. Improving the playground provision, including making a decision to repaint the playground markings to provide more activities at break and lunchtime for pupils, including at doodle time.
2. Choosing to suppport the local bereavement charity 'Simon Says' with a cake sale fundraiser.
3. Meeting Maria Miller MP to discuss local and national issues for the pupils.
4. Helping pupils in the school with better e-safety training and understanding.
5. Helping to organise 'Book Swap' in school in the spring term so that all children have access to books at home.
6. Helping to organise 'Uniform Swap' and 'Coat Swap' in the autumn and summer terms so that children have access to uniform and warm coats.
7. Working together to come up with a sustainability plan for the children to use in school to help the environment.
8. Supporting activities to raise money for charities like Comic Relief (Red Nose Day), and school.
Well done to all the children for supporting our school improvement, as well as helping the local community!
Our school was turned into a Polling Station for all the children to vote for their new class school council representative. We enjoyed learning how to use the voting booths and ballot slips, and popping our slips into the ballot boxes for counting up. Well done to all the children who were nominated, and to our new elected school council.
