School Council

Today was our first meeting for our School Council. Our children democratically elected 2 representatives from each class in year 2 through to year 6. Our children this year will be involved in shaping many decisions for our children, they will gather child voice from their classes and lead votes on important decisions. It is a very important role and they will make a real difference to our school.  

Today our School Council met with our wonderful cook, Paula, who has worked at our school for a year this month! She wanted to seek their opinions on the school menu for the next half term. The children voted on their favourite meal options and their decisions were upheld. Their next step is to discuss with the children in their class further ideas for menus for the Autumn second half term. The children represented themselves brilliantly, and considered their class members thoughts and ideas and not just their own. The children also had the opportunity to ask questions to Paula about her role and the way she develops the menu for school, we discussed the importance of nutrition and also the training and experience she had to be able to do such a good job in her current role. One child, George, asked how she always made her dinners so delicious! It was a brilliant first council session and we are already planning our next one. Watch this space for further information ...
