Mission Statement
The purpose of our School Council is to encourage pupils to get involved in issues that concern them, in and around school.
With the School Council, many voices can be heard. We listen to the views of pupils and take responsibility for some parts of school life. There are two members of the council from each year group from Y1 to Y6 and children are encouraged to participate in the group to cover issues that concern the different age groups.
Aims
The Village School Council listen to other pupils’ ideas and take action to make their school better and provide the best possible learning environment. We always try to create a warm and welcoming school that supports the community and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Our School Council helps to improve our school community by providing a means through which each child’s point of view is heard. This helps to develop an excellent relationship between staff and pupils. It also helps to nurture responsibility and a strong sense of pride and togetherness.
Meetings
School council meetings are held half-termly and give opportunities to reflect on life in our school and address pupil concerns or discuss new ideas. We regularly take part in surveys from the Local Authority and have recently completed a questionnaire about Behaviour and one around Staying Safe Online and in the Community.
This year, the council members led a consultation with pupils on our school rules. Following this, the school rules were revised, linked to our Village Values, and the updated rules were implemented in January.
