School Council
Meet The School Council Team 2025-2026
Our Role
In Britain our voice matters. We can take part in decisions that affect our country. We may not be able to vote until we are grown ups but we begin to understand democracy in different ways at school. The school council is one of these ways. We are democratically elected and are involved in making choices and decisions for our school.
We call this "People Power".
We have regular school council meetings where we discuss problems and help to make important decisions.
We help to look after our school, the environment and when we have new children we look after them and show them around our school.
Autumn 2025
During our first meeting, the School Council team introduced themselves to each other and discussed our new role and responsibilities.
We spoke about how they became a member of the School Council team. Which involved all children in their class having a democratic vote to make it fair. Then we took some individual photos for our school display and everyone explained why they are going to make a good school council member this year.
Actions:
- To understand our new roles and responsibilities
- To have regular meetings
Meeting 2
Today we joined the British Value Ambassadors to talk about Harvest Festival. We discussed what Harvest Festival is and how we can help. As a school we collect food to take to the food bank. The School Council team and British Values Ambassadors made posters to stick up at our classroom door to make all adults aware so we could collect as much food as possible.
Actions:
- Put posters up in our classrooms
- Discuss with the class what we need to do for Harvest Festival
Meeting 3
We were so amazed by how much food had been donated by so many Pinewood families! We looked through the donated food and thought about how much the food could help people. We thought of meals we could make, how the food would make people feel and thought about how grateful we are for everything we have at school.
