What is the School Council?

A new school council is elected each academic year, with every class from Reception to Y6 nominating representatives. This creates a central group that speaks on behalf of the whole school and makes decisions about school life. We value the opinions of our pupils and the School Council gives children a forum to share these opinions with the Headteacher and other members of staff, allowing for change and to make their school experience even better.

Welcome

Brenzett Feast – Children enjoyed the food especially fruit kebabs and pasta. Instead of being given a criteria, they would like to just choose just a general favourite of the class. Would like it to be more snack than meal based. Liked coming together to eat and be served by the teachers and mixing up year groups. Would really like a whole school trip linked to one of the charities we will be supporting next year.  The best parts about WOW days: trying new foods, crafting and building and dressing up.

Library

• Each class is allocated £50 to choose yoto cards and £50 for new books.
• Each class will have their own library monitors, who will be in charge of tidying and looking after books during their session.
• Want more of a range of nonfiction that look appealing to the children.
• Could have mindful lego and colouring in the library.
• Wall mural would be really fun – want it to be colourful.
