School Council
Article 12 on the rights of the child say that:
‘All children have the right to a voice and to be heard’.
At the start of every school year we hold pupil voice elections. Our school council is comprised of two elected pupils from each year group as well as our Head Boy and Head Girl who are chosen through a school ballot.
At Stranton Primary School, the purpose of our School Council is to encourage pupils to get involved in issues that concern them, in and around school to make their school better and improve school life and our school community.
We see our School Councillors as holding very responsible positions. Their job is to:
- Attend meetings regularly
- Communicate with the Head teacher and governor
- Talk to people and feed their views back to the council.
- Make suggestions for change and improvement
- Decide which charities to support as a school
- be Rights Respecting Ambassadors for the school and promote children’s rights
The School Council meet every fortnight with Mrs Yildirim and Mrs Wilson. Following meetings, the councillors are given time to report back and share anything discussed to their class.
