School Council

We are very proud of our School Council! Find out more about how our council is structured and the impact below.

School Council Process:

• Formal application process takes place for pupils in Year 1 to 6 during October.
• Shortlisting between Head Teacher and Chair of Governors begins.  Children are notified if they have been selected for interview.
• Formal interviews take place and School Councillors, including Head Pupil/s are appointed during the month of October.  Feedback is provided.

By November, School Council discussions ensue throughout the year:

• Discussions take place during PSHE every fortnight about a topic selected by councillors & Head Teacher; councillors take notes; meet with Head Teacher the following week and feedback whole-school views at class-level. Decisions are made and any further reflections are fed back as appropriate via whole-class materials (Rolling PowerPoint).  This process ensures pupil voice is regularly captured and acted upon by school Leadership.
