Why do we have a school council?
- To give pupils a voice and enable them to be agents of change
- To feel ownership of the school so that the reasons for rules and routines are understood
- To help children learn how the school works
- To encourage identification with and pride in the school
- To enlighten staff about the children’s view of the school
- To collect information which might not arise from other sources
- To improve and develop citizenship skills in children
- To develop new attitudes and respect between adults and children
- To add a further dimension to the PSHE Curriculum
- To introduce the principles of democracy through the elections of the representatives
- To offer opportunities for children to solve social, behavioural and environmental problems within a wider perspective
- To enhance the school ethos
- To make parents aware that children’s views are considered important and are taken into account
