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. Miss Parish 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 why they wanted to join. 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 morning with Miss. Parish 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 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!

Running School Council in 2020

This year, the council will be running in line with all social distancing guidelines. If your child is chosen, they will meet in the hall at a distance and will not be put within close contact of other bubbles.
​

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 and ideas for the future. Here are just a few:

• Parliament week - The school council will be taking part in some additional debating and role play activities during UK Parliament week in November! Watch the news page for updates.
• Virtual events - Children will have lots of opportunities to host virtual debates and fundraising events throughout the year of 2020.
