School Council Assembly

After a long year of representation, meetings, trips, visits to Parliament, discussions and help, our School Council members gave a presentation to the rest of the school about what they have achieved.

In School
School Council members have helped to organise better facilities for the playground. They worked with Thames Chase volunteers to design the new play house around the tree and bring to life a previously dull area of the school grounds

With the help of our fundraising readers, the School Council chose the new play equipment for lunch times. Due to the amazing effort of our readers we had a record total to spend... £380.

Throughout the year the School Council have supported the school in tackling the issues of bullying...

"We designed a presentation about cyber bullying and how to stay safe online. Then we gave this presentation to our classes and handed out leaflets that explained how to use the internet safely"
Melisa Krasniqi

In addition to this the Council organised the Anti Bullying Day activities to ensure that all pupils were sure about our procedures.

"When new pupils join our school they might not know about the worry box. They also need to read and sign the Anti Bullying contract. We helped to design this with Miss Taylor."
Nathan Owsley

Charity
The School Council have helped to co-ordinate and lead many of the fundraising events this year. In consultation with their classes, it was their choice to support Sip for Stroke.

"Some of our children have had family who have suffered a stroke. Even one of the staff recently had a Nan who had a stroke. Our TA Mrs Axford has a daughter who is a Stroke Nurse, so it was a great charity choice"
Jude Gore

School Council members listened to a presentation about the principles of FAST, so that they could help in the event of a stroke. This was then shared with their classmates. After that the school hosted a Stroke Awareness Day and a Sip for Stroke coffee morning.
