Our School Council is a group of elected pupils from Year 4-7, who have been chosen by their peers to represent the views and opinions of the pupils in their class. School Council representatives come together to discuss ways in which the school can improve, taking into consideration the pupil voice. School Council members also link with the younger classes in our school, bringing on board their ideas and thoughts.
The School Council are given the opportunity to talk with the people who can make changes happen and decide on the most effective ways to implement these changes. School Council members share with their class news and information, discuss new initiatives and feedback to their class on what has been achieved. Our School Council representatives also aim to participate in fundraising events.
In previous years the School Council has been involved in fundraising for new playground equipment, something that came out of investigating how to improve pupil wellbeing following remote teaching and learning in the previous two years. They also spearhead Fairtrade within our school and we are a Fairachiever School and have held this highest Fairtrade award awarded to a school for the past 14 years. The School Council are also involved in an Attendance HERO initiative aiming to improve pupil attendance throughout the school as well as contributing pupil voice and ideas on anti-bullying.
We hope this year’s School Council really enjoy being their class representatives, bringing Pupil Voice together, so we can share interests and ideas from all of the children in our school!
