School Council

School Council

Our School Council were chosen democratically.

Children from Reception to Year 6 who wanted to be a member of the School Council presented a speech to their class.  Each child in the class then voted democratically for the pupil they wanted to represent them and feedback their views and opinions in meetings (Article 12).

Easter Enterprise Fair March 2019

School Council  worked hard to support our Easter Enterprise Fair.  They wrote letters to businesses to ask for donations to our raffle and had some lovely replies. These letters were successful and we are very grateful for all donations we received, therefore thank you letters are being sent out to all businesses that supported us.  School council also made posters to advertise the fair and distributed these in the community.  They also contacted a fair trade shop in Durham and some Key Stage 2 children collected a box of fair trade items to sell at our fair. 

Daft as a Brush

Each year School Council choose a charity to support for the whole school year.  This year, after looking through lots of suggestions, we decided to support Daft as a Brush.  Daft as a Brush are a local cancer care charity who transport patients who are undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, for free.  On Monday 24th September Ray, a volunteer for Daft as a brush and Catherine came into school to thank us for choosing Daft as a Brush and to tell us about the work they do.  They left us feeling inspired to raise lots of money to support them.

The School Council meets every Tuesday morning with Mrs Schofield.

Our School Council represents the views of all of our pupils.  It gives children the opportunity to have their voices heard and be part of the whole school community.

School Council aims:

To make sure our school is a safe and happy place for all of our children.

To make sure children have a place to voice their concerns.

To encourage all children in the school to suggest improvements.

To make sure any suggestions or concerns are listened to and acted upon.

We will do this by:

Talking to our class to gain ideas and suggestions.

Making sure everyone's opinions and views are valued.

Having regular meetings to share our ideas.

Each class has two  representatives who attend the meeting and then share the information discussed back in their classes.

The charity we are supporting this year is Daft as a Brush.

We hope to raise £1000 over the next 2 years. 

Look out for the exciting ways we will be raising money! 

School council used some of the fantastic suggestions from the suggestion box to help decide on the dressing up themes.
