School Council

" I press on towards the goal ..." Philippians 3:14

 

At Ashby C of E Primary we are proud to have pupil representatives who take part in School Council meetings.  Our School Council consists of a team of extremely pro-active, dedicated and enthusiastic children, democratically voted in by their peers, to represent the pupil’s voice.  The members of the council take their roles very seriously and, as a result of their hard work, have orchestrated and coordinated positive changes within the school over a number of years.

Past projects have included the peace garden, leading school events and children also take a role in the interviewing of candidates for upcoming jobs in the school.

Our Vision

The School Council Vision Statements are as follows:

• We listen to each other and discuss comments & suggestions that would make our school an even better place.

 

• We aim to make pupils feel comfortable, happy and safe at school.

 

• We work together as a team, making decisions democratically, to ensure we can be the best school possible.

 

• We work hard to make our world a better place through organising charity fundraising and raising awareness of environmental issues.

Our school councillors for 2019/20 have been elected. Each year group has two representatives from Years 1-6 who will meet on a regular basis throughout their year of office.  Mrs Brady (Staff Councillor) will be supporting the School Council this year to make positive changes both within school and our local community.  We will be coming up with ideas for improving the school environment, looking at ways to ensure access to the newly completed MUGGA is fair to all across the school and  initiating fundraising opportunities alongside any other projects that are raised in the meetings.

Our Councillors (2021-2022)

Will be updated shortly

 

We already have lots of ideas of things and would like to do including a half termly school council ‘drop in’ session where children can air their ideas with the school councillors and re-instating the School Council Suggestion Box.  The children are also keen to raise their profile by leading assemblies and fundraising.
