HUNTER'S BAR INFANT SCHOOL
SCHOOL COUNCIL
At the beginning of the academic year in September we hold our School Council Elections and each of the Year 1 and Year 2 classes elect two representatives to become part of the school council. Later in the year when the reception children have settled in their classes, they also elect two representatives. This process illustrates democracy and forms the important pupil voice.
Being a school councillor is a very responsible position, children represent their class when we meet. After the councillors will feedback what we have talked about to their class.
What do the School Council do?
The School Council take part in lots of activities including:
- Listening to the views and concerns of other pupils
- Representing these concerns to teachers, Mr Barnes and other adults
- Coming up with ideas to help improve the school and make decisions
