St Benedict's Catholic Primary School

School Council

Welcome to St Benedict’s Catholic Primary School Council page! Here you can find out lots of information, including regular updates about our meetings.

What is the School Council?

The school council works to make improvements to the school and the way we do things at StBenedict’s. We look around for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to speak and when we’ve finished, we vote on the best ideas and then start working on changing things.

What is the Purpose?

Our purpose is to be the voice of the children. We aim to get things done to make our school an even better place to learn and thrive. To find ways to improve our school and to give every pupil a voice and to make all decision-making fair.

Who are the School Councillors?

Every year we run an election campaign to vote for two new representatives for each class. A good representative will speak at the council meetings about things that their class is interested in. They will also tell their class about what is going on in the council meetings and put the minutes up in the classroom. They can record any information in their school council book.

Don't forget to talk to your class members if you have any issues or problems you would like us to discuss.​

1.  In Summer 2022, the Council transformed the old outdoor classroom into a Reading Snug for lessons and playtimes.

2.  In Summer 2022, the Council created a new area for reading in the EYFS and KS1 playground.

The school council are keen to listen to what the school community wants. This term they have listened and are comitted to creating a calm area where children can explore books and further their love of reading.
