School Council

I raise up my voice – not so that I can shout, but so those without a voice can be heard – Malala

1 Timothy 4:12 “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

“Matthew 25:40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”

Our school Council are democratically appointed representatives within our school. Each class has School Counsellors and our Year 6 pupils become Head and Deputy Boys and Girls. Each year two pupils from each class represent their class in our School Leadership team (School Council). They meet with Mrs Hutchinson to discuss what they would like to implement across the school.

In addition pupils in Year 6 apply to become head boy and girl.  Our children represent school in the South Lakes Pupil Parliament on a termly basis.

Over many years our Pupil Parliament Representatives attend South Lakes Pupil Parliament:

In the past our children along with 16 other schools, shared presentations about the issues concerning them and debated issues, recreating the debating chamber of the House of Commons. We take the approach of ‘Thinking Globally Acting Locally’ to make a difference in our community.

We ensure that our children meet with a range of leaders and visits which inspire our children to develop their passions, leadership skills, agency, confidence and a sense of purpose in the community.

What are our young leaders passionate about?

Recycling and caring for the local and wider environment

Charities that support issues our community face eg, Fire Recovery Fund, Community Cupboard, Cancer Charities, Supporting the Nakaseke Community in Uganda

Global Issues – Thinking about Litter, waste and recycling as well as reducing energy usage
