School Council

October 2024

We have recently elected new Year 1 and 2 School Councillors for this academic year.

A huge congratulations to those who were successful (pictured below)

We are proud of everyone who put themselves forward to be a School Councillor – all have been given house points for their hard work and commitment. 

Quotes from our new school councillors…

“I am looking forward to helping to make the school an even better place!”

“I want to help the school to get even better at teaching writing because it is one of my favourite things to do.”

“I will make a good school councillor because I am a good listener and I like helping others.”

“I would like to make our school even better. For example, I would like to see more reading in class.”

“I wanted to be a school councillor as I was excited to try something new. I would also like to improve the displays around our school.”

“I will make a good school councillor as I like helping others and I am a good listener.”

“I would like to help make sure everyone in our school knows how to be kind and can play nicely together.”

“I think it’s really important to be kind. Being a school councillor means I can help to show everyone how to be kind.”

Cut Your Carbon – November 2024

During the month of November, School Council led the ‘Cut Your Carbon’ Project in school. They began by delivering an assembly to Key Stage One all about ‘Cut Your Carbon’ month, which included explaining why monitoring the amount of carbon we produce is important and the different strategies we could all do to help reduce our carbon footprint. School council shared the ‘Cut Your Carbon’ checklist with the rest of the school, detailing the six different actions we should all aim to complete to support us in achieving this goal.

School councillors made posters to put around school and present to their classmates throughout the month of November to remind them about ‘Cut Your Carbon’ month.

Children were asked to bring their completed checklists into school to be awarded 6 house points (school council decided that 6 house points was a good reward – 1 house point for each of the 6 actions). At the end of the month, School Council then met to collate all the completed checklists across our school. We spent time reflecting on this project and our achievements. Well done for all your hard work School Councillors!
