Our School Council is a democratically elected group of pupils who represent the views of their classmates. It is made up of nine representatives from Key Stage 2, who are elected by pupils at the beginning of each school year.

The School Council meets regularly to share the views and suggestions of their classmates, discuss events and projects, and contribute to important decisions about school development. Representatives then report back to their classes after each meeting.

Photographs of our School Council representatives are displayed in the school hall so that pupils know who they are. Children can speak to any representative if they have an idea or suggestion they would like discussed at a future meeting.
