School Council

Our school council meets once a month and is led by Mrs Fossey. There are 18 children who are elected members of the school council from Pine class to Year 4. In between school council meetings we have class council meetings so that all of the children have a chance to share their ideas.

Our Three Targets

In our school – to develop our school environment

We are going to monitor the impact of the classroom monitors, and feedback on school dinners.

We are going to work with Mrs Ware and the Rota Club to enhance our outdoor areas particularly

the wildlife garden.

In our community – to support local and national charities

We are going to choose an organisation to raise awareness and funding for.

Globally – to continue to support the work of Action Aid through Child Sponsorship

We are going to support Hay Man in Myanmar through the Action Aid charity.

We are going to learn about how things are different and the same in other places around the world,

and the impact that Action Aid can have on a community.
