What Do We Do?

A school council does a number of things:

  • The school council meets – with a teacher present – to discuss ways to improve our school. These may include discussing the school improvement plan, lessons, school values, school lunches, behaviour or ideas for fundraising events.
  • Members of the school council will be responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed, such as planning events.

Each class elects one school councillor who represents their peers for a year. The children elected to the school council have to take on various roles. They meet regularly with the Assistant Head Teacher responsible for Pupil Voice (Mrs Davenport) and discuss issues that affect the school.
