School Council
Welcome to our School Council page. We are looking forward to having a successful year, working hard on lots of different projects across school and representing the viewpoints of our classmates.
Our school councilors were awarded badges to wear on their uniform and a certificate to congratulate them on being chosen.
Each year group was then given a notepad which they can use to collect pupil voice and to jot down ideas during meetings.
Our school council meets up to discuss any matters or issues which may affect the children and their learning that have been brought up in class discussions or as anonymous suggestions.
The council comprises of 2 children from each class who nominated their self and presented a speech to their class explaining why they should be chosen as a school council member.

Parliament Trip
Being elected to be on the School Council helps us to understand that everyone has a voice and that we live in a Democracy which is a British Value. Our KS2 School Councillors visited the Houses of Parliament in London to help develop their understanding of what it means to be elected and how we can listen to poeples voices. We met a local MP and learnt about their job and how Bills turn into Law.
We also enjoyed travelling to London by train and using the Underground to get about. We saw Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Picadilly Circus and walked over 20k steps!
Leeds Central West Youth Summit
Some of our school councilors represented our local area at the Youth Summit. Children received feedback from our school on what we like about our area and also what could be improved with investment. We discussed local issues about Leeds for children, and also had a private tour of some of the chambers of the democratic system within Leeds. Thank you to Councilor Andy Pamham and Councilor Hannah Bithell.
