School Council

The School's Council is an ideal opportunity for pupils to get more involved in the running of the school. The School Council benefits the whole school, pupils and teachers because it provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence 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 pupils they represent.

What is a school council?

A school council is group of students who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and to improve their school.

What makes a good school council?

A good school council is one that represents the views of all students and gets things done. These are some things that make a council effective:

Regular meetings- These are held every fortnight
Good communication between representatives and their class
Confident speakers

As a school council we have certain issues that we work to try and improve.

To encourage a fit and healthy lifestyle for all.
To raise money for new play equipment to be used at playtimes and lunchtimes.
To help promote safe and considerate parking outside our school.
To become more involved in the local community.

Your council reps will be asking for ideas to help!
