School Council

What is it?

Our school Council is a group of pupils from Key Stage Two who are elected to represent the views of all pupils and to improve their school.

What does it do?

Our school council does a number of things:

• The school council meets – with a teacher present – to discuss and sort out problems.
• Members of the school council are responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed, such as planning events, improving the school environment or resources or helping interview new staff.

What jobs are there?
Each year, every KS2 class will elect 2 representatives to be members of the school council.

The council will then meet to elect officers such as:

• Chair
• Vice Chair
• Secretary

How we can make our school council great?

We aim to represent the views of all pupils and get things done.

These are some things that make a council effective:

• Regular meetings
• A council that is not too big
• Class councils that meet regularly
• Good communication between representatives and their class
• Smaller groups (subcommittees) working on specific events or issues
• Annual evaluations
