School Council

Welcome to our school council page! We would like to tell you all about what our school council do. We hope you enjoy looking at what we do for our school.

At the beginning of every academic year every class in Key Stage One decide who they think would be the best representatives for our school council. We do this by firstly volunteering for the role and making a short video for the rest of the class to watch explaining why we would be the best person for the job. All the children who volunteer are then voted for by the rest of the class. This is usually done in secret by lining up behind the volunteers; whoever has the most children lining up behind them is our new school council member. Each Key Stage One class elects two children and then in the Spring term the Foundation 2 classes each elect 2 members.  We also elect a chair for our council.  This is a Year 2 representative who has to make an additional video and the whole school vote to elect them.
 
We meet a few times every half term to talk about what we have been learning about and whether all the children are following our Banks Road 'Brilliant' expectations. We also discuss other issues such as the playground, how we can help our local community, and what we can do to make our school an even better place!  Each term we write a letter to our Governors to tell them what we have been doing and how we've been helping to make our school better.
School Council this year
Collaboration with William Lilley
 
As part of our collaboration with William Lilley Infant and Nursery school, members of the school councils visit each other's school. Last year we were working on a joint logo to represent both of our schools.
