Right Respecting School Council for 2025/2026

An election was held for the positions of Rights Respecting School Councillors in Y2 - Y6.  The children experienced a 'real' election with candidates able to campaign and explain to their peers why they wished to be a School Counillor and why others should vote for them. Each child was able to vote for two children from their class to represent them on the School Council.

Lots of children put themselves forward for election and every child had their say by casting their vote in private. The following children were duly elected:

Year 2: Paige and Theo

Year 3: Nancy and Isla

Year 4: Max and Luca

Year 5: Ollie and Sophie

Year 6: Ellie and Teddy

We are pleased to have been elected by our classes to be the new RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL COUNCIL and are excited to have a busy year ahead. We will be meeting twice every month and will be working on the following agenda: helping to formulate a climate action plan and develop sustainability in our school and fundraising. Our voice really matters and this is a great example of us accessing Article 12 - the right to have your own opinion and for adults to take it seriously. Our first important job will be to liaise with our classes to gather ideas and organise our Children in Need event.

Thank you

Rights Respecting School Council
