School SMART Council
“Helping every child to engage and lead change in their world”
Our School Council is run by using the Smart School Council community. Our aim is to help every child to engage and lead change in their world through democracy. The Smart School Council believes that every child’s voice should be heard and involved while they’re at school, and that pupils can learn a broad range of key skills as a result.
The programme explicitly involves every child in the school, from Nursery through to Year 6. The child friendly structure is a simple model and is easy to understand for the children. Every other week, the Smart School discuss a critical question and vote on their answers. The session is run by the children themselves and allows the children to take ownership for running a democratic system. It is a simple step by step process which also gives reflection time for the previous SMART Council Assembly question. Their responses are submitted back to the Smart School Council group and any action points are noted and planned.
Each September, children have the opportunity to canvas for a School SMART Council position. Two children are elected from each class.

Eco-Council
| Our Eco committee meet regularly to consider ways of ensuring that our school makes good use of resources and to take forward plans and activities. Each class has two representatives. Our committee members are busy focusing on recycling and environmental reviews this term and next. Our findings will determine our action plan for 2025-27.

Y6 Prefects
Our school prefects are our model pupils. Prefects are honest and trustworthy and can be relied upon to carry out any task asked of them. Our prefects wear their badge with pride and complete daily tasks as part of a team to support both staff and children in our school. Our prefects model the high expectations we set all our pupils through making good choices and always wearing the correct school uniform. In order to become a prefect, Y6 pupils apply and are selected by the Y6 class teacher.
