What is the School Council?

At Great Linford Primary School, the School Council are a team of 12 students from Years 1-6 who are involved in shaping the way that the school is run and developed. Mrs Brittin helps the School Council organise their plans and come up with ideas for the school. In order to become a member of school council, each child had to tell their class 'What makes Great Linford great?'. The votes were collected democratically with the children casting their votes based on who they thought would do the best job. 

What do we do?

We meet every other Friday afternoon they have a meeting with Mrs Brittin in order to discuss our latest projects and share ideas. As a group, we all bring ideas from our class mates about how to improve our school and discuss this during our meeting. Each person in the group has an important role from voicing ideas to writing the meeting minutes as the group secretary. We will follow a pre set agenda but there will also be opportunities for the children to bring problems, discussions and solutions to the meeting. We decide as a group the best projects to take forward because we think about the impact that they will have on the children in our school!

What have we been doing?

During the autumn term, we have been supporting our class to collect items for the Food Bank and support the harvest collection.

In addition, we have devised a questionnaire to ask our class about the new equipment outside. 

Since returning from half-term, we have been having weekly meetings to focus on the food in the lunch hall. The children are collecting views on how to improve the service and food.  
​

Our Aims:

  • To help the school to thrive in new projects that we undertake.
  • To ensure that our school community is strong and everyone is happy.
  • To allow the voices of all the children to be heard via collecting views from our class.

Future Projects:

We have lots of projects this term. Here are just a few:
  • Help gather evidence towards the SMSC Quality Mark Gold.
  • Weekly staff feedback emails to all staff after the meetings.
  • Pupil voice - our school lunch hall and service. 
  • Feedback to SLT on improving wet breaks.
