Our school council is an important part of our school’s belief in pupil leadership and voice. As you wander around the school you will see examples of how our children contribute to the smooth running of our school. Examples include our Mortimer monitors, house captain boards and break time buddies. (All of our buddies are also Young Sport Leader trained.)
School Council Members
We are currently in a transition period with our school council and changing the way in which pupils are represented.
Pupils are invited to join the school council from Year 2; there is one representative per class. These are nominated and then voted for by their class members. They will complete a one year term of being the representative for their class.
The Year 6 house captains, who are elected by the pupils in key stage two, are also invited to be on the school council and join the original members.
What does the school council do?
School Council members meet at least once a month. In every year group there are suggestion boxes that come from children throughout the school. We bring these ideas to meetings. Sometimes Mr Bennett and subject leaders also bring ideas to the meetings and ask School Council to help them on important projects that require and would benefit from pupil opinion, experience and ideas.
