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.

Our School Councillors

Acorn Class - Fearne

Cherry Class - Lenny-Ray and Tilly

Willow Class - Mason and Oscar C

Oak Class - River

Head Boy and Girl: Zach and Gracie

we can all come together.
