School Council

School Council

The School Council at St Luke's represents the views of all pupils. It gives children the opportunity to make their voices heard and feel part of the whole school community.

A school council helps to make changes and improvements, and thinks of ways to improve our school.

Election Process

• At St Luke's, a new school council is elected each year, with every class from Y2 to Y6 nominating two representatives to be members of the school council. Reception and Y1 are allocated representatives from Y6.

• Voting for council members takes place at the beginning of the school year.
  

What makes a good school councillor?
A School Councillor needs to be able to:

• put across good ideas

• care for others

• be a good role model who can be trusted

• be reliable

• show enthusiasm

What does our school council do?
We hold regular meetings to discuss ways in which we can improve our school. The Councillors present the views of their classmates. They then provide feedback to their classmates through class discussion time and through whole school assemblies.

• Behaviour
