School Council
Our School Council has a very important role in the school. Each class elects two Councillors for a term of office of a year. Their work complements the activities of our other Wrington pupil leadership teams. The School Council have a more ‘whole school’ aspect to their work, and focus their efforts on fundraising, supporting school events and undertaking specific projects, such as the work of last year's councillors in creating a video about British Values at Wrington to share with pupils and staff.
This year, in addition to the usual activities undertaken by the School Council, which are detailed below, they are going to be involved in considering the Protected Characteristics set out in the Equality Act in relation to school life.
Activities undertaken by the School Council include:
- Organising charity activities such as Operation Christmas Child, food bank Christmas appeal and supporting events such as fundraising for Children in Need and Comic Relief
- Running and judging whole school competitions such ‘Walk to School' week
- Leading tours for parents at our New Parent Induction Meeting
- Involvement in the appointment of new staff to the school with the School Council interview and feedback to Governors
- Organising equipment for classrooms and playground
- Appointing the Playground Buddies including short listing formal application forms, or application videos, from children
- Being ambassadors of the school such as handing out orders of service for special services, or leading prayers in the School Carol Service
Our School Council are a valuable part of school life and an asset for both pupils as class representatives and for staff, in sharing student voice.
