School Council

The school council represents the views of all students in the school; from Foundation Stage to Year 6. Each September, every class elects two representatives to be members of the school council.

The school council play an important role in the running of the school. We meet at least twice each term with Miss Adams to discuss class issues, how to raise money for projects and how we can improve our school. From these meetings the School Councillors feedback to their classes and at the end of the school year we evaluate what we have achieved.

So what have we done?

• We support national charities such as Children in Need; Marie Curie Cancer Care and The British Heart Foundation, Parkinson's Disease and raise money through organising sponsored and other whole school events.
• We organise and run the playtime equipment making sure it is safe to use, put away properly and there is enough to play with.

Special Events 2018

• Take Over Day was a great success. Children from across the school took on the roles of teachers, office staff and even the headteacher for the day! We raised over £100 to spend on play equipment for the summer term
• Last term we helped to organise our sponsored sleep out event to raise over £500 for Shelter. Thank you to Libby for her suggestion!

What are we doing?

This week we discussed our suggestions for ways to improve the quiet area on the playground. We are very keen to upgrade the seating and add more plants and greenery to the area.

We would like to raise money for an animal charity this term.

The School Council have had a busy start to Term 6. We have judged round 1 and round 2 of The Great Wychwood Bake Off and the standard was incredibly high, we were very impressed. It was a difficult choice - The finalists are Jev (y6), Bea (y4) and Alice (FSU)! Check out the News Page to see some of the fantastic cakes and bakes.

Our next event will be Wychwood's got talent in July.

What can we do to make our school a better place?

If you have a good idea or have a concern about something in school please talk to your class representative and they will bring it to the next School Council meeting.

How can you become a school councillor?

At the start of each school year your class teacher will organise an election. Put together a short speech as to why you want to be a school councillor and what you think you could do to help improve our school. Hopefully you will win enough votes from your class to become a school councilor. Good Luck!
