School Council: Pupil Voice at Wincham

At Wincham Community Primary School, we value the voices of our pupils and believe they should have a say in shaping their school experience. Our School Council provides a platform for pupils to share their ideas, raise concerns, and contribute to making Wincham an even better place to learn and grow.

What is the School Council?

The School Council is a group of elected representatives from each class who meet regularly to discuss issues that are important to the pupils. They act as a voice for their classmates, bringing forward suggestions and working with staff to make positive changes.

What does the School Council do?

• Represent their classmates: Council members listen to the ideas and concerns of their peers and share them at meetings.

• Discuss school improvement: The council brainstorms ways to improve the school environment, learning experiences, and playtimes.

• Organise events: The council helps to plan and organise events like fundraising activities, assemblies, and special days.

• Share information: Council members keep their classmates informed about decisions and initiatives.

• Make a difference: The School Council makes a real impact on school life, ensuring that pupil voices are heard and valued.

How can you get involved?

• Elections: Each year, pupils have the opportunity to stand for election and represent their class.

• Sharing ideas: Encourage your child to share their ideas and suggestions with their class representative.

• Supporting events: Attend school events organised by the School Council.

We believe that pupil participation is essential for creating a positive and democratic school environment. The School Council is a vital part of Wincham, empowering our pupils to become active and engaged members of our community.
