Our School Council members have now been elected for the year 2025-6.
We are delighted to represent our classmates and we are honoured that we have been chosen through a democratic vote.
Mrs Young leads the school council and has recently been working with MP Adam Thompson to launch the Smart School Council.
As a school, we have been given the opportunity to participate in Smart School Council which our local MP Adam Thompson nominated us to join.
It gives every child in the school a voice and encourages children to make democratic decisions. A leader and note-taker are also elected each week, so the whole session is run by the children. Every Monday, a question is set for the children to debate and democratically arrive at a group answer from a list of options given.
Some of the questions have been:
Are there any changes you would like to make when eating in the hall?
How do you feel about how we teach spelling? How important is it to you?
How included do you feel in our school community?
What would help us to feel happier and positive in class?
What could we do in our school to make it more welcoming for everyone, including people with disabilities or differences?
Some of the children’s responses have brought about change showing how powerful little voices can be!
