The School Council

The School Council is an inclusive, structured, forum for pupil discussion and decision-making. It’s a means for the children to raise issues and concerns, to help the children develop responsible attitudes and to improve behaviour.

It gives children hands-on experience of issues in the National Curriculum, including PHSE and Citizenship and helps to create a feeling of belonging, encourage listening to others and develop self-confidence.

The School Council operates with the Chair leading the meetings and conventional committee procedures used. Pupils take issues to their class representatives who raise them at the Council sessions.
