Our School Council is made up by several different layers. First and foremost, it is almost entirely child-led – including the structure and formation of the council itself.
Our school council is lead by the “Heads of School Council” – which is a small number of Year 6 pupils. Their roleincludes arranging meetings with year group representatives, as well as deciding the agenda for and leading these meeting. Each year group will have two representatives (who are voted in following elections led by the head of the council).
During these meetings, the school council decide on various suggestions and improvement they would like to implement in school – as well as suggestions regarding any issues that could be addressed.
As well as the school council meetings, we have several sub-commitees/groups. These groups are formed by Year 6 pupils who apply for the role at the start of the academic year. They will often involve other children across the school.
