School Council
This year, our school council is a little different! Like a true direct democracy, everyone is on school council! Our staff representative, Mr Payne, will come in to each class separately to ask about any suggestions the children have and to collect in any of the School Council Suggestion sheets that the class might have.
Although we can't meet as a whole school, or have a small council with representatives from every class, our pupils still have a voice at our school and have opportunities to be heard. We welcome any and all suggestions that children have; these can be written on School Council Suggestion sheets that are easily available in all classrooms.

November 25th:
Although we haven't met as School Council, we have had Mr Payne visit each class to talk about how our School Council will run this year. Instead of two representatives from each class, we are all part of School Council this year! Mr Payne will come and visit our class once a month to talk about different ideas and events, especially for our chosen charity this year - the St Leonards Community Food Bank. Instead of cash donations, we will be donating food to the food bank at regular intervals throughout the year, just as we did at our Harvest festival this year.
Now, children are able to make suggestions to any member of staff and this will be passed on to Mr Payne, our staff School Council Representative. These suggestions or ideas can be in paper form, spoken aloud, or emailed in. Any suggestions that come up can be discussed each month at the School Council meetings when Mr Payne visits our class.
