School Council

Welcome to the School Council

Our School Council plays an important role in ensuring that every child’s voice is heard and valued. We believe that pupils should have the opportunity to share their ideas, express their opinions, and help shape decisions that make our school an even better place to learn and grow.

Each year, children are democratically elected by their classmates to represent their class. Our councillors take their responsibility seriously – listening carefully to their peers, discussing key issues, and working together to bring about positive change within our school community.

The School Council is involved in:

• Promoting and embedding our school values
• Supporting charitable fundraising events
• Organising competitions and whole-school activities
• Sharing pupil voice on important local and national matters
• Working alongside staff to improve school life

We are proud of the leadership, teamwork, and confidence our councillors demonstrate. Through the School Council, our pupils learn about democracy, responsibility, and active citizenship – skills that will support them well beyond primary school.
