Each class voted for their School Council Representative. Ballots took place and we have 2 representatives from each year group. They make important decisions about our school and bring ideas from their classes to share at meetings. Sometimes the school council will organise big whole school events and sometimes they discuss what is working well and what could be improved. The representatives take into account the voices of all of the children in their class.
