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.

Meeting 1 - September 2026

Agenda:

Today was our first School Council meeting. We discussed our important roles as School Councillors, the badges we wear and our meetings. Their jobs are to be the voices of all the children at Pinewood, to ensure the school is always looking its best and to make sure the school is running correctly. We had a little think about if we’d seen anything around school that needs sorting or if we had any ideas to make our school even better.

• The library bus is looking a little old and tired.
• Litter on the playground.
• Broken window on the shed
• Children need reminding about how to look after our school.

Actions:

• Talk to Josh about the broken window.
• Discuss with Ms Otter about the bus.
• Litter pick around school
• Make posters to hang around school and to share with the children about our school rules and how we can look after our school.
