School Council
Article 12 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child:
"Every child has the right to have a say in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously."
A new School Council, which is made up of 12 representatives, is elected each year, with every class from Year 1 to Year 6 nominating representatives. This group of children speak on behalf of the whole school and help to make decisions about school life. We value the opinions of our pupils and the School Council gives pupils a way to represent the views of the whole school and share these opinions with the Head Teacher and other members of staff.
This year our School Council have:
- Organised a 'sponsored mile' to raise money for UNICEF & Ukraine
