Our School Council is made up of children who are elected representatives from each year group. The Foundation Stage contributions are shared with the council members by their class teacher.
The council meets each week during term time to discuss issues raised at class councils and the children are given an opportunity to share ideas about proposed improvements to the school.
We have our own notice board with our visual action plan displayed on it and a suggestions box for all of the school to use, including the adults.
