What We Do

Our School Council is made up of pupils who want to help others and make our school the best it can be. School councillors support their classmates, help people when they need it, and work to create a happy, safe environment for everyone. They also welcome visitors, share information about our school, and act as a link between the school and the wider community.

As part of the School Council team, pupils look for ways to help others. This includes supporting children who may be having friendship or bullying worries, encouraging kindness around the school, and sharing ideas from their classmates about how to improve school life. Councillors make sure everyone has a voice by bringing suggestions—like new clubs or activities—to the council meetings.

Looking to the future, our School Council has lots of exciting ideas. They want to promote kindness, be helpful role models, and work on creating fun spaces where pupils can play and get along. They have suggested organising new clubs, including ones led by School Council members during lunch or break times. They also hope to meet more people in the community, take part in activities such as litter picking, and visit the care home at Christmas time.

Pupil Voice

I want to be a school counsellor because....

"I want to make the school a better place for the children"

"I want children help children enjoy school"

"I want to try and help Mrs Telfer and the other teachers"

"I want to make school a fun place to be"

Star Table

Every month, the School Council hold their ‘Star table’ event at lunchtime in the school hall.

As part of the ‘Star table’, children who have worked hard across all areas of school, are invited to eat their lunch at the ‘Star table’ with our special guests. Special guests may include teachers, governors, teaching assistant and visitors from the community.

That’s not all though! The lucky children who are selected for the ‘star table’ have their lunch served by our very own waiters – the school council!

Dojo Reward System

As part of our whole school Dojo reward system, the school council met to discuss ideas for our top prizes. We decided that the children would earn prizes after hitting a certain milestone (100 points- Bronze, 200 points- Silver, 300 points-Gold and 500 points - Platinum.)

The children worked in pairs looking through catalogues and the internet and then discussed what prizes we thought were suitable for each milestone. The children then handed the list to Mrs Telfer for further discussion. They children are now enjoying earning dojos and are working hard to reach their rewards.
