Junior Leadership
Meet our Junior Leadership Teams for 2025-26
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.
