School Council

What does the School Council do?

Pupil voice is a very important part of the life of our school. We are using the British Value of democracy to make sure we all have a say in how our school could develop further and what role we can each play in that development.

We use democratic elections when choosing our school council members which are from Year 1 to Year 6.  Our school council elections take place in the autumn term of each new academic school year.  Pupils in all classes can decide to put themselves forward to be their class representative on the council. They had to prepare a short presentation to persuade their class peers what skills they felt were important and how they would be great at putting forward the ideas and views of the class at school council meetings.

Following these short presentation there are class elections where each pupil has a vote on who they think would represent their class the best.   All votes are then counted and the members of the new school council are announced in our Whole School Celebration Assembly. 

The school council then meet through the school year to help make decisions about the school.  They discuss ways on improving our school and feedback what their class members would like to see happen as well.

 School Council Autumn 2025/26 Focuses

This year the school council have been working hard listening to the pupil's voice within school.
During the winter months the school council recognised pupils suffering from colds or other winter illness and decided to create poster encouraging good hand hygiene and how to use the hand sanitisers provided around school. 
One request was that pupils wanted more sports clubs at lunchtime and so the school council organised and led weekly beachball sessions at lunchtimes throughout the Spring 1 term. 
The school council then listened to pupils who said that accessing Alice's Den in winter was difficult due to the lack of path. The school council are aiming to raise funds to build a path. To do this we are selling ice pops and holding a non-uniform day. The school council are also hoping to hold a water fight during the last week of the summer term. 

School Council Autumn 2026/27 Focuses

Our initial plans for the school year ahead are to continue to fundraise to raise funds for a path to Alice's Den.
