We Had FunSchool Council
Blakesley School Council
Our school council is a group of children that have been elected by their classmates to represent the views of all the children in their class and school. One child is elected from each year group at the beginning of the academic year to represent their class in the school council.
These representatives will hold small sessions at circle times to collect ideas, views and information from their classmates and report and raise issues at termly school council meetings. The school council discuss issues and ideas that have been introduced, and with help from their link teacher they suggest possible solutions and improvements to be made to the Head teacher and other staff members. Agreements and projects are then fed back to the whole school during assemblies or class forums led by the school council themselves.
The school council is usually fully involved with maintaining our schools excellent behaviour and
attitudes by designing and formulating children's ideas into a system called The Code of Conduct that can be used throughout the school.
The school council members of 2011/2012 had their first meeting last week where roles and
responsibilities were voted for and distributed. They had some very big and clear ideas about what they wanted to promote and achieve this academic year…
The Keystage 2 children have taken the organisational roles within the school council this year
and the Keystage 1 children will operate as a mini group within the school council, responsible
for generating creative ideas and helping with communication links. They have called
themselves the 'Cool Council'.
The school council will also aim to manage and be responsible for their own budget. This will
help the children to follow through decisions and solutions from meetings, in consultations
with staff, improving the school through all of the children's perspectives.
We are also fortunate enough to be able to attend one of our school Governors meetings this
term. This will help the School Council members learn how to take a formal approach to
meetings, observing what people do within their specific roles and establish some
communication links.
Blakesley School Council helps to give all children the opportunity to have a voice, we like to
hear your ideas and suggestions and have provided an issue box in the corridor as well as idea
bags in the classrooms. Please let us know if you can help or assist our projects in anyway. The
school council would be happy to welcome you.
The School Council Members and Link Teacher, Mrs. Reeves
