Any pupil in Year 1 - 6 can stand to be a member of School Council. They have to make a speech to their class, saying what issues they think are important, as well as why they would make a good representative. Every class will then vote for the child who they thought could share ideas and speak up for them.
The school council takes forward projects on behalf of the children from all classes.
To be effective, our school council does the following:
- Represents all pupils and includes as many people as possible.
- Takes time to listen to all children and communicate their views.
- Feeds back to children about what happened about their views.
- Makes things happen - or explains why they can't!
Our School Council consists of one child from each class in KS1 and KS2.
The School Council meet every month to review actions and plan ahead.
