School Council

Our School Council comprises of children from each of our Key stage 2 classes. Each October, the children are invited to stand for election and those interested write a manifesto addressing their views on the role of the Council and areas they would like to promote or improve within our school. We encourage the children to focus on their personal characteristics and why they feel they would make a good member of the committee. These are then presented to the other members within the classes and the children vote, in true election style with a ballot paper and ballot box, for the 2 members they would like to represent their class.

School Council Newsletter

 

Elected members meet on a regular basis to discuss issues and plan activities or fund raising events. The children are allocated a budget, which they manage, and have been fully involved in the purchasing decisions regarding the playground toys, evaluating their success, durability and value for money. The committee has also elected to support several charities.

From the children…..

This year the School Council have had many events including hot dog day, a cake stall, helping at the Christmas Fair, collecting money for Red Nose Day and are going to help with the summer Fair in July. For hot dog day people paid a £1 and we gave them a hot dog. We gave half of the money we raised to the tsunami appeal. We look after the playground toys and we have recently bought some new hoops, balls, bats, and beanbags frogs for hop scotch games. Being on the School Council makes you feel better because you are helping the school to improve and become a better place for all the children.
