Prefects

In Year 6, children are able to apply in writing to become a Prefect. Interviews take place and the children have to provide a presentation to their peers on why they would be suitable for the role. When appointed, Prefects ensure children display outstanding behaviour and provide guidance to vulnerable pupils.

School Council

Elections for the School Council are held in September. The School Council is made up of two councillors from Year 1 – 6  (a girl and a boy) who have nominated themselves to represent their class. Then each class vote for the girl/boy who they think would make the best representative for their class. Voting is done using ballot papers and posted into a ballot box the votes are counted and winners announced in assembly. The councillors represent their class and are the ‘pupil voice’.
They contribute to decisions made in school such as uniform changes, wearing pumps, fundraisers, charity donations and have an input into policies such as behaviour.

The last Council meeting held was to decide on how we could support charities. We did this during Harvest by supporting our local food bank.
