What are we up to?

This year we have been working towards becoming an Eco-School.  Our first step was to carry out a school environment audit and produce a School Eco Code.  We have recently looked at what we recycle in school and created a Recycling Policy. 

What are school councils?

School councils are democratically elected groups of students who represent their peers and enable pupils to become partners in their own education, making a positive contribution to the school environment and ethos.

What do school councils achieve?

School councils make a positive contribution to every aspect of the school community. They:

• improve academic performance
• reduce bullying and vandalism
• reduce school exclusions
• improve teacher-pupil relations

Our school council consists of an elected Chair and Vice Chair who are in Year 6.  Secretary and Vice Secretary who are in Year 5 and a boy and a girl representative from each year group in the school including Reception.

They meet at least once a month with a member of staff present and usually iinvite one of the School Governors.
