School Council

What is the school council?

The school council is a group of children who attend meetings twice each term and discuss ideas and suggestions on how to make the school better. They are good role models for the children at Brighton Avenue Primary. 

We have class representatives from Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2. 

What we do

Class representatives listen to their classes and write their ideas down to discuss at the meetings.

They are responsible for bringing all class suggestion boxes to school council meetings to share and discuss suggestions put forward by children. 

Why is the school council important?

School Council meetings give our children a voice that is listened to.

School council contributes to improving the school and helps headteacher Mrs Allan by coming up with lots of great ideas. 

School council help make decisions about how the school is run and take on projects that support the children's learning and development such as fundraising or representing the school at outside events. 

Tuesday 14th March 2023 - Connecting Schools To Nature Project.

Our School Council and Eco Warriors were proud to be selected to host a stall to showcase some of the fantastic green transformation work we are doing here at Brighton Avenue Primary School.  The purpose of the Hancock Museum event is to give out prizes and awards to schools, including framed certificates for participation.  Volunteers and staff from the project, hosted this private event along with one of our school govenors, representatives from environmental organisations, universities, funding bodies, the council, local MP and members from the press at this amazing event.

Katie from the British Ecological Society stated 'It was so lovely to see all of the photos and everything the pupils had been up to; I especially loved the '5 ways to wellbeing' work they had been doing.  So amazing and inspiring to see the pupils and staff!'
