School Council


What is the School Council?

 

A school council provides a meaningful way in which pupils can voice their opinions and have their views taken into account in decisions that impact upon them.


At English Martyrs' Primary School, our school council is a group of children that represents the views of all our pupils. It gives our children the opportunity to have their voices heard and be part of the whole school community. They help to make decisions about school life and organise projects that support learning and development.

 

Who are the School Council representatives?

A new school council is elected each year and is made up of 2 representatives from each year group, from Year 1 to Year 6. All school council representatives are elected by their peers at the beginning of each academic year. The children who would like to be considered for school council write a manifesto, the children then vote in a secret ballot to elect the school councillor.

 

Mrs Sutcliffe School Council (Teacher representative)

I am very proud to support our School Council this year. We have fantastic children in our school who have lots of great ideas on how we can work together to make a better school.  We have children from Year 6 all the way down to Year 1.


We want to make sure that all children’s voices are heard in our school.  We will meet regularly to discuss ideas and events. I am very excited to work with the children this year and I know we are going to achieve a lot for our school!

 

School council aims:

  • To meet regularly to discuss their views and be heard.

  • To organise whole school and class events

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

  • To make sure children have a place to voice their concerns, opinions, and thoughts

  • To encourage all children in school to suggest ideas and improvements

  • To ensure any suggestions or concerns are listened to and acted upon
