School Council

June / July 2025 Up-Date

The School Council's main project this year has been the History Timeline (both world and local history) in the main corridor - and they have done a brilliant job! The Council has worked with school staff, parents, with staff from the Amelia Centre and with the graphic designers to create the visual display. It has been a really successful project.

The aim of the new timeline,  is to provide a strong visual framework to support the children’s understanding of chronology and the interconnectedness of events through time. Each time the children walk past the timeline they are exposed to information repeatedly, which helps embed it in their long-term memory without them even realising they are learning! The timeline has already stimulated the children’s curiosity and discussion about history and chronology. We have enjoyed hearing children refer to the  timeline during their history lessons this term and have even heard some children choosing a specific event to find out more about in their own time.

November 2024 Up-Date

This week, I met with the School Council to discuss the autumn programme that the children will be leading for the school. Their first main project is the Travel Plan initiative and started this initiative by running a Poster Competition to help reduce congestion at the school gates at morning drop-off and pick-up in the afternoon. Ideas for the key messages on the poster were:

• why drive if you can walk?
• driving to our gates isn't safe
• parking away and walking the last 10 minutes is safer and healthier
• be considerate of our neighbours
• our school environment doesn't need car fumes!

The winner and runners up were announced in Monday's Assembly, and the winning designs will be used on the gate and fence at the front of the school and shared with the local authority. Well done to Emma (and Megan helping) who had the winning designN

Rotakids and School Council Non-Uniform Day

The School Council will also be working with the Rotakids to run the highly popular Hot Chocolate Reindeer stand at the Christmas Fayre this year. To raise funds to buy the ingredients, the School Council asked for a non-uniform Day on Friday 22nd of November. I am delighted to announce that the event raised £150 which will be used to purchase the ingredients for the Rota Kids stall at the Christmas Fair on the 19th of December.

The Rotary Club is run by Miss Barker
