Pupil Council

Why do we have a Pupil Council?
The Pupil Council is a way of giving pupils a say in the way our school is run and enables them to make changes for the better in our school.
The Pupil Council
The committee is comprised of one elected pupil representative from each class plus one teacher. A pupil council representative is a pupil who shows kindness, understanding and the ability to listen and take on board others’ points of views.
The members this year are:
The Pupil Council has regular meetings and the representatives report back to their class. They ensure the Pupil Council noticeboard is kept up to date informing everyone of future events. The minutes of meetings will be posted here.
Pupils can inform the Council of important issues via the following methods:
- A suggestion box in class
- A notice board
- Pupils can talk to their class representative during a class Pupil Council discussion slot
The benefits of being part of the Pupil Council
- Children develop problem solving, communication, leadership and enterprise skills
- Children are more interested and involved in what’s happening in the school
- Children feel safe, included, trusted, important, proud, helpful, responsible and respected
