Our School Council helps to make Peatmoor a better school. Our School Council meets every two weeks on a Monday. Elected School Council Officers from Year 6 and elected representatives from each class share ideas for improving the life in school. Sports, food, and playtime are often issues that come up. (Not to mention the toilets!!) When issues come up we try to sort them out. That is the School Council’s job. Who we are:
Often we have ideas about how to make a better school such as having play equipment at lunch time; having an obstacle course in the playground; and ideas for clubs in school, or new recipes for the school lunch menu. There is a suggestion box in the Library where anyone can write to us with a request or an idea, or even a moan about something that is upsetting them, and we will try to sort it out. Have a look at the School Council Big Book in the Library. Peatmoor School Council is highly rated by OFSTED “ Pupils contribute very well to the school, and the local and wider community. They feel they have a real say in what happens. The influence of the school council is marked, such as requesting more games and play equipment to make playtimes more fun. Through their fund-raising for local and national charities, pupils gain a good understanding of wider social and economic issues. For instance, they raised enough money to pay for two classrooms for their link school in South Africa.” |
