Our School Council comprises of representatives from all of our Key Stage 2 classes, who have been voted into the role by their peers. Our aims are to empower our children by giving them autonomy over decisions within our school and to develop our sense of community. Our members are committed to our school and are excited to make a difference. 

We have our Head Girl and Head Boy, along with a Secretary and Treasurer from Year 6.

Four council members from Year 5 and two each from Years 4 and 3.
