School Council
At our school, the School Council serves as an essential forum for student voice and representation. Comprising two democratically elected representatives from each year group, specifically Year 2 to Year 6, the School Council provides an opportunity for pupils to engage meaningfully in school life. These representatives meet on alternate weeks to deliberate on current issues affecting our school community, ensuring that all students have a say.
The School Council acts as a vital link between pupils and teachers, gathering insights and feedback from the Class Councils during meetings. This collaborative approach allows for a collective expression of ideas and concerns, which is fundamental to creating a supportive school environment. To facilitate open communication, we also provide a suggestion box and the ‘Quiet Bench’, where pupils can quietly voice their thoughts and share suggestions.
The members of the School Council take their responsibilities seriously. They strive to help resolve conflicts among peers, promote fundraising initiatives for charities and school projects, and work towards making our school a more welcoming and inclusive place for everyone. In this role, they become ambassadors for our school, representing their peers with pride.
In summary, the School Council not only empowers students to contribute to the decision-making process but also nurtures their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, fostering a sense of community throughout our school.
