Our School Council

Our school council is made up of 7 pupils from Reception to Year 6. These pupils were selected in an election where all pupils in‍‍‍‍‍ school had a vote. Each member represents their own class in school and seeks out the views and ideas of that class to share with the council. The council also has a chairperson, secretary and a staff mentor. The council meets monthly to discuss issues and ongoing projects. All pupils can give feedback to the council via feedback forms in the school corridor. The council discusses the ideas generated here with their staff mentor and the Head Teacher

Healthy Packed Lunches.

This is a project the school council are currently looking at. They have worked with Mr Sutherland to come up with a packed lunch policy, which will soon be shared with staff, children and parents.

Recycling.

* Carried out questionnaires across school and used their answers to gain knowledge of and improve our whole school recycling.‍‍‍

* Provided each classroom (including Rainbow Station and HUB) with 3 types of bin; waste and fruit, milk and paper/card.‍‍‍

* Selected a recycling monitor for each class who is in charge of monitoring recycling in class.

* Started to discuss composting.
