Our School Council
Our School Council is a vital part of our school community, giving pupils a voice and an opportunity to make a difference.
Led by Mrs. Haq, the council is made up of representatives from both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, elected by their classmates.
These children play an important role in sharing the views of all pupils and exploring ways to improve our school.
We hold meetings every two weeks, working together towards our vision of contributing to the continuous improvement of our school environment.
Our Aims
The School Council is dedicated to:
- Providing pupils with a platform to express their opinions on matters that affect them.
- Encouraging children to take an active role in decision-making and shaping a better school for everyone.
The Role of a School Councillor
School Councillors are responsible for:
- Listening to their classmates and representing their ideas and concerns during council meetings.
- Feeding back important discussions and key decisions to their class.
- Representing the school by giving tours and providing information to visitors when needed.
Each candidate has to deliver a presentation showcasing their leadership skills before being elected.
Leadership & Organisation
The council is led by Mrs. Haq. The School Council secretary records the minutes of each meeting, which are then displayed on our notice board for everyone to read.
