School Council

Why do we have a School Council?

School Council is an ideal opportunity for children to get more involved in the way our school is run. The School Council benefits the whole school, children and staff. It provides opportunities for children to communicate their feelings as well as discuss decisions that are made. Councillors develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation. It is the responsibility of each Councillor to ensure that they express both their own views and the views of all the other children they represent.

Who can be a member of the School’s Council?

We have an active School Council with two children representing their fellow pupils from Reception to Year 2. Each councillor is elected by their classmates at the beginning of the school year after a short presentation explaining the importance of the role and responsibilities.

What do we do?

Members of the Council take part in discussions and votes and also feed back any relevant information to their class. At times they are requested to ask their class for ideas or take class votes relating to discussions by the Council. Members meet regularly with Mrs Wagstaff.
