This year we have re-established our School Council.  The children have been voted for by their class and we held our first meeting on Friday 23rd September.  The children went for a walk around the school grounds and came up with 7 proposals to take back to their classes about the playground.

We then created the action plan below.

They have been given a budget of £1000 to improve the playground and have been assigned roles within the Council.  From January the Council will also include representatives from Nursery and Reception.

School Council Action Plan

1. Repaint Storyland and make it into a quiet reading area.  Children will be voting on the colour before half term

4. Reopen the sand pit at lunchtimes
