School Council
Meet The School Council Team 2025-2026
Our Role
In Britain our voice matters. We can take part in decisions that affect our country. We may not be able to vote until we are grown ups but we begin to understand democracy in different ways at school. The school council is one of these ways. We are democratically elected and are involved in making choices and decisions for our school.
We call this "People Power".
We have regular school council meetings where we discuss problems and help to make important decisions.
We help to look after our school, the environment and when we have new children we look after them and show them around our school.
Autumn 2025
School council introduced themselves to each other and we discussed our new role and responsibilities.
