School Council
Our School Council has been in operation for a number of years.
At the start of every academic year two children are elected from each class by their peers.
The representatives are very keen to take on this responsibility on behalf of their class and are involved in a number of important issues throughout their term of office.
Welcome to the School Council of 2024-2025
Minutes from our meetings in the academic year 2024-2025
Friday 23rd January 2025
This was our first meeting with our new school council, due to our visit from Ofsted in October! All the children were welcomed, and their important role was explained to them all.
Item one that was discussed was Halloween fundraising. The village holds a halloween door competition in October, with the money raised being generously given to school under the understanding that the children decide what it is spent on. School councillors have been asked to go back to class and invite suggestions on what the £205 can be spent on for the whole school. They will bring these suggestions to our next meeting and a vote will be held.
Mrs Paisley also shared that an application to visit parliament has been submitted. A number of schools across the country are invited to visit Parliament, and applications close on 29th January, where we are hoping we will find out if we have been successful. If we are given a visit, School and Eco council children, along with Mrs Paisley and Mr Gregory, will get to go to London in June and have a tour of Parliament. Fingers crossed!
Monday 16th September
This years councillors were introduced and celebrated in assembly this morning. They will receive their badges once they arrive and our first meeting has been set for Friday 27th September.

Update on the project with Eco Warriors
School Council met on Friday 11th February to arrange notifying classes about the animal home homework. Over half term, all children are being encouraged to make bird feeders and animal homes to put around school. Each councillor will explain project to the class and it will go home with the school newsletter. When we return from half term, homes and feeder will be displayed for everyone to see.
In addition, councillors felt a litter pick was needed in school now as there were increasing amounts of litter being seen by children.
Joint project with the School Eco Warriors
The school Council met jointly with the Eco Warriors to discuss a new project in 2022. The children will be joining forces to try and achieve the Green Flag for the school which is an excellent measure of the school's commitment to improving the environment. There is an extensive action plan which the children will begin work on in the new year - watch this space.
