Distington Community School Council 2024- 2025

Distington Community School Council 2023- 2024

 

Children in each class have voted for one boy and one girl from every year group in school to represent them on our school council. They have been elected to represent the views of all pupils and also to improve their school.

 

 

What does our school council do?

 

Our school council is a formal group of pupils who act as representatives of their class- friends in discussing school issues with Mrs Kellett. 

 

They will hold regular meetings to discuss how they can support school including how they can fundraise and develop further links with the community. All of the elected children are extremely proud to represent our school and will have many important roles over the coming year. 

 

"School council" means all kinds of school-based groups run by students, including student forums and youth parliaments. They help to make decisions about how the school is run and take on projects that support the children’s learning and development, such as organising charity events, representing the school at outside events or ensuring the school is environmentally friendly. 

 

A school council does a number of things:

 

  • Our school council  meets annually with Mrs Kellett  to discuss and sort out problems. These could include school lunches, behaviour or ideas for fundraising events.
  • Members of the school council are responsible for carrying out the ideas that have been agreed upon, such as planning discos, writing newspaper articles, or meeting with catering staff.
