School Councillors are elected by fellow pupils and represent Pupil Voice throughout the school. They help to organise events, report back to their classes and help with jobs and activities throughout school. It is great to hear them discussing an issue like how to reduce litter or how we can help the community. Parents and carers are most welcome to join a session. Please get in touch.
Our school council is elected by the pupils in our school. Each Year group from Years 1 to Year 6 elects one representative. The council then meet to discuss a range of ideas/projects that assist staff with choices. They also discuss projects that come directly from pupils' ideas and concerns. An example of this is the introduction of hens into the outdoor environment. School council ideas are fed into governor’s meetings.
The elections take place in September of each year and the children in class vote for their representatives. The councillors then attend weekly meetings providing valuable ideas and insight from the voice of the pupils.

School councillors need to be able to represent all pupils, taking time to listen and communicate views effectively. They need to feedback to pupils and explain why or why not changes may be made.
