The school council is a group of pupils who represent their peers and bring forward their views to improve the school and its grounds. The members of the school council are two pupils from each class from primary and secondary departments. The school council has been running since 2000 and our achievements have grown each year.

At the meetings, held by Mrs Mottram-Clarke, we decide what we can do to improve the school. We don’t just decide ourselves what to do - our class peers put their ideas down too, through questionnaires and class discussions. To decide on the class representative, we hold a class election in September.

Please talk to your School Council representatives if you have any suggestions or ideas that you would like to put forward at our next meeting.

Our projects in recent years include:

• School Council consultation for our School Development Plan
• Nominations for local charities
• Consultation for lunch time / after school varied activities
• School Council pupil questionnaire
• Raised awareness via our Road Safety competition
• Nominated Eco Energy reps who focussed on saving energy and took part in the ’big battery hunt’
