Pupil Council Policy

What is our Pupil Council for?

The Pupil Council is about:

Learning to work together
Learning to give everyone a voice
Learning how to play a positive role in our community
Learning to develop healthy, safer lifestyles
Creating a safe, happy but fair learning environment

The Pupil Council’s job is to involve everyone. It needs to get everyone:

Finding things they want to change
Coming up with ways to make them better
Putting those ideas in to action
Seeing what works (evaluating)

The Constitution of the Pupil Council:

Each class will elect a pupil and a deputy to be their representative.
The Pupil Council will be made up of two representatives from each year group.
Extra members can be co-opted if the elected membership does not reflect the school community, for instance, the ethnic groups within the school or pupils with special needs or disabilities.
The Pupil Council will meet every two weeks.
The Pupil Council will elect a chairperson and vice chairperson.
The Chair, the Vice-Chair and Deputy Headteacher are responsible for running meetings, giving everyone an equal chance to have their say, and making sure the Council comes up with practical solutions to problems.
The school will provide a secretary who will take minutes of the Pupil Council meetings. These will be kept in a book and distributed to classes once they are typed up to reflect the meeting/decisions made. They will also be displayed on the Pupil Council display board.
