School Council

A School Council is a representative group of students who have been proposed and elected by their peers to represent their views and raise issues with the Senior Managers and Governors of their school.

A School Council can also propose and take forward initiatives and projects on behalf of their peers, and be involved in strategic planning and processes such as the School Development Plan, governing body meetings and staff appointments.

The object of an effective School Councils is to help children and young people to: 

• Enjoy and feel empowered by their education. 

• Feel that their school responds to their needs and views. 

• Have the opportunity to let adults know their feelings and opinions about things that affect them. 

• Have a say about decisions, and to play an active role in making their school a better place.

• Develop life skills through participation.

​

Pupils in our school council have been voted for by their peers and meet fortnightly with Mrs Dawes to discuss issues that are important to them.  Each class has two representatives and we believe that it is extremely important to allow pupils to give their views on our school, after all, it wouldn’t be much without them!
