School Council Overview

The Junior School Council is made up of a male and a female representitive from each class, as voted for by their class peers.

The council members listen to the thoughts, ideas and suggestions of the class and put these forward in their weekly council meetings.

They then feed back to their class as to the outcome of each meeting, together with any decisions that have been made.

The council is overseen by Mr Whittle.
