Congratulations to our new School Council members, who have been elected by their peers over the past few weeks.
A school council is a formal group of pupils who act as representatives of their classmates in discussing school issues with the headteacher and staff. They work to make improvements to the school and the way we do things at Cuddington and Dinton. We look around for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to share their views and when we’ve finished we vote on the best ideas and then begin implementing our ideas to improve the school.
What makes a good School Councillor? A School Councillor needs to be able to:
- Communicate ideas;
- Understand and listen to the views of others;
- Be a good role model who can be trusted;
- Be reliable;
Every class votes to determine who will be their Class Councillor. Before voting, the children if interested, must put forward their reasons for wanting to represent the class. Once the children have shared their ideas then the class hold a vote and the children with the most votes will become School Councillors.
