School Council 2022 - 2023

Our School Council represents the views of all our pupils. It gives children the opportunity to make their voices heard and feel part of the whole school community.

We have meetings regularly on Thursdays after school to plan and discuss ideas and activities.

In September 2022,10 new members were recruited. Three children from Year 6, three children from Year 5 , 2 children from Year 4 and 2 children from Year 3. Year 6 are responsible for updating Year 1 and Year 5 are responsible for keeping Year 2 updated on Council news. Mrs Regan co-ordinates the Council and different members share the responsibility of writing up the minutes of our meetings.

We aim to:

• Increase Pupil Voice
• Help lots of people
• Represent the view of all pupils
• Raise funds for different causes and charities
• Listen to others to improve our school
• Share ideas
• Put good ideas into action

We are focusing on the environment and how school can lessen its carbon footprint. We are still supporting different charities such as Stockport Food bank and Children in Need. We continue to ask children in our classes for their ideas and suggestions.

Harvest Celebration 2022

This year, we collected donations for Stockport Food bank. The Reverend Calum Piper from St Michael and all Angels Church in Bramhall came and talked to school about how we are all connected and how it is important to look after each other and our planet.

At our Harvest celebration, School Council members gave a presentation to children and parents about Stockport Food bank.
