School Council

At Wimborne Primary School our pupils have an important role to play in issues that affect the children themselves. We value the opinion and suggestions made by pupils and encourage them to be responsible members of our school community. A representative from each class is chosen by their peers. Each class has a School Council suggestion box, where children can put their ideas and suggestions to make the school a better place. The School Council discusses the ideas as a group and decide which ideas are suitable to take forward to Mrs Jacobs and the Senior Leadership Team.

Minutes are taken during each meeting using PowerPoint; these minutes are then used by the School Council reps to share with their class.

School Council meetings are held fortnightly after school on a Thursday and Class Council meetings are held the following week to share what was discussed at the meeting.

 

Governor Reps

We have 4 governor reps chosen by the School Council to represent each year group. This year we are introducing this role for Year 2.We take on this role for the four years that we are at Wimborne Junior School. We attend School Council meetings and take children’s ideas and suggestions to Governor meetings. We also bring questions back to the School Council from Governors to help them make decisions to include children’s viewpoints. We are the link between the children and the Governors.
