SCHOOL COUNCIL

You are aware, the School Council plays a pivotal role within the school. They represent the views of the children within the school and are part of the decision making process. They are never short of coming forward with great ideas to improve the school. Some of these ideas I am able to implement, but the swimming pool is proving a tricky one to agree to. The names of the School Councillors are below:

YOUNG LEADERSAs always, the nominees for Head Boy and Head Girl were amazing. The children really put their heart and soul into the reason as to why they should be Head Girl and Head Boy. Anyone of them would do an amazing job. However, as is the nature of such things, there can only be four children elected. These are below. Huge congratulations to these children and a massive well done to all who took part.
