School Council

At Eastington, we have an active School Council which has representatives from each class. Our school supports British Values including democracy and so we were elected to be school council members by our classmates after explaining who we were, our skills and why we wanted the role. We have elected a chairperson who helps to organise our meetings and ideas.  Gathering ideas from classmates and reporting back to them after meetings is an important part of our job too.

This year the School Council Representative are:

Class 1: Eva and Charlie

Class 2: Sullivan and Behati

Class 3: Mila and George

Class 4: Evan and Barney

Class 5: Lola and Violet

Meeting together is fun – we sometimes have a business breakfast to talk about how we can make our school an even better place and how we can support others (sometimes we enjoy croissants at our breakfast meetings too!). Each meeting we follow an agenda. Wonderful Mrs Yorke and Mrs Bedwell come to these meetings and help us too.

We usually organise fundraising to help others. This year we plan to raise funds for Children In Need, take part in the local Egg Hunt by creating an Egg and support a homeless charity. We will also represent our school by making and Easter Egg for the local Easter Egg Hunt.

If you want to find out more, ask the school council representatives or look at our school council notice board outside the school hall.

We all really enjoy working together to make our school the best place it can be and making a contribution our community and the wider world.
