What is the school council?
The school council is made up of councillors from each year group who represent the voice of their fellow classmates. They work hard to make improvements around the school and to support the school charity that has been chosen that year. They meet every two weeks and often help to run charity events and help out at the school summer fayre.
Who are the school councillors?
The school council is made up of two representatives from years 1-3 and 4 representatives from year 4. The year 4 councillors take on the roles of chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary and treasurer. Those who would like to run for school council, prepare a speech to present to their class and then the class votes for who they would like to represent them. The councillors will report back to their class about discussions that have happened in the meeting. They will also take their classes’ ideas back to the school council for discussion.
Our School Council Projects
As the school council, we help make our school better and also help other people. We raise money for local charities like food banks and hospices, and for big charities in England like Children in Need, Comic Relief, NSPCC, and The Royal British Legion. We plan fun things like non-uniform days, cake sales, and sponsored challenges. We also ask everyone for ideas to make the playground and classrooms nicer, and we do projects to help the environment. It feels great to make a difference at our school and in the wider world.
