School Council
Our School Council is an important part of our school’s Pupil Voice.
Each class elect two representatives who attend regular meetings every month with Mrs Powlesland. Issues are discussed in Class Meetings and then the children’s views are brought to the School Council by the representatives.

School Council were voted in by their peers in class:
At our first meeting we talked about how we can recycle more in our classes - we are going to separate our plastic, food and paper waste.
November 2023:
School Council met to discuss our anti bullying leaflet. We have redesigned it and added pictures to help our friends understand it better.
We would like to introduce playground buddies, as some of our younger pupils feel that they would like someone to help them play games when we are outside.

May 2022:
School Council met to discuss ideas for the playground. We decided that we would like a jubilee garden, to improve the look of our outside space, and to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. We met with our school gardener to ask for ideas and suggestions about how to best spend our money. When he has bought the plants we have asked for and prepared the flower bed, we are going to help him plant the garden. We also now know that we will need to carry on raising money to keep the garden looking nice, and to buy more plants.
