Our School Council

We have a broad and active school council who meet weekly to discuss school improvement matters.  The school council is made up of children from Y2 to Y6 and all members have been voted onto the council by their peers.

Mrs Hall (Y1 class teacher) supports our school council and helps them to organise their meetings each Monday lunchtime.

Recently, our school council have selected the house treats (film for Christmas; Easter egg hunt for the spring term) and been actively involved in the decisions around the development of our trim trail (see below).  The school council have their own version of the school improvement plan and regularly meet with Mr Tierney to share and receive updates.

 On Tuesday 28th February some of our School Council met with the representative from the trim trail company to ask questions and find out more about the project.  Everyone was very excited to learn that the work was scheduled for the Easter holidays and were thrilled with the final outcome.  Please see the pictures below.  Well done School Council!
