School Council

Welcome to the School Council

Welcome to the School Council section of our website. Here you can find out more about the School Council, who is involved, and learn about the events and activities we run throughout the year.

What is the School Council?

The School Council is made up of one child from each year group (Years 1–6). The Reception children are represented by a member of Y6. Together, they represent the voice of the pupils and help to share ideas, suggestions, and concerns from their peers.

Supported by Mrs Jamieson, the School Council discusses these issues and works together to make decisions and take action to improve school life for everyone.

What Do We Do?

The School Council:

• Organises events to raise money for the school charity

• Holds meetings and shares pupil suggestions with relevant staff

• Puts forward ideas to improve the school and the local community

• Works with other Pupil Leadership teams across SET

Why do we have a School Council?
