What is the school council?

Our school council is a group of pupils who represent the views of all children across the school, and give them the opportunity to make their voices heard and feel part of our school community.

We help to make changes and improvements, to make the school a nicer place for everyone.

Our School Council has representatives from each year group. We listen and make decisions to improve our school. We can ask questions of our school leaders and help to fill in the gaps that they don’t see.

We act as role models and help the children in our school to keep our school values and develop into good citizens.

We organise fundraising events for charities and find ways to support our local community and protect the environment.
