School Council

School Council - Our School. Our voice

This is made up of two representatives per class, from Years two to six.  We meet every week during lunchtime and the children have an opportunity to discuss any issues that have been raised by their peers, such as a need for certain equipment on the playground or new ideas for lunches. The School Council meets to debate these issues, prioritise them, and discuss how they can make a positive change in the school.

At the beginning of the year, the school council decide via a vote upon a charity to support for the year. Alongside this, the school council organises charity events throughout the year and actively encourages others to do so. To keep the school up to date with their progression, the representatives hold an assembly to discuss any current and future plans for events.

This is a great opportunity for the children to practise their communication skills and include the children in making the school an even better place.

Junior Travel Ambassadors (JTA’s)

In addition to the School Council, we also have two Junior Travel Ambassadors (JTA’s) in school.  Junior Travel Ambassadors are responsible for reminding the whole school community about road safety issues, along with promoting cycling and walking to school. They do this through a variety of methods such as maintaining a road safety notice board, organising competitions and giving short talks or road safety news in assemblies.
