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

Minutes

Thursday 20th November 2025

Agenda –

• Welcome – Catch up on discussions from last meeting
• (Brenzett Feast, WOW days) as well as what is going well this term
• Rock star day for TTRS
• Raising money for the PTFA
• Exciting ways to encourage food donations for the church 
•  Afterschool clubs

Welcome –

• Love tasting new foods as part of the wow days, Year R enjoyed making the train with the wheelbarrows at pumpkin picking. The Victorian day was really fun but very ‘harsh’, it made the children in Willows feel like real Victorians. 
• Update on Brenzett Feast – moving to the Summer Term 

Rock star day –

• Name rock hero day
• Raising money for classroom Maths games or resources and there’s a prize for the most class points and individual.
• House competitions, there will be 30 minutes in the day when everyone has to compete in the school. 
•  People have costumes but we should have a reserve for people that don’t bring anything in. 
• Teachers vs students – the losers would have to do laps around the playgrounds. 
• Prize for first to 1,000.
• For the day, we open TTRS from 7am – 7pm. 

PTFA fundraising –

• Bake sales run by children and the children have to bring in cakes from each class. Maybe have store bought to ensure we know allergy lists. 
• Colour run. Voted between a Saturday morning or Friday afterschool in the Summer Term. To raise more money we should open up to siblings and cousins but it’s only children running. £8 has been the agreed amount to enter but this includes squash at the end and a white polo. 
• Movie night is a good idea but children would like to vote on the film and would like a few more snacks as it was close to dinner time. 
• Disco KS1 and KS2 split as opposed to all in together. 
• Buddy fundraising event 

Church food donations –

• Brenzett Feast. 
• Box in our office to collect food each term. 
• Have competitions between the classes to try and encourage donations. 
• Cereal box dominos. 

Afterschool clubs –

• Children are really enjoying the Warhammer club with Miss Down.
• Drawing club 
• Interest club where children get to present their interests by the end of the term. 
• Would like more options for afterschool and not lunchtime clubs because children don’t want to give up their lunchtimes. 
• TTRS club/ Maths and computers. 
• Theatre club, inviting in actors from the local area. 
• Potions club 

AOB –

• Oak and Acorn joint trip with money from a bake sale.
