The aim of Stivichall Primary School’s School Council is to involve pupils in decision making in around the school. The children are respected as partners in their education. Stivichall’s school council allows the opportunity for each class to have their say through a class representative.
The school council discuss any points raised and vote on a course of action. Each year a new representative is voted in by their classmates. Each year a teacher volunteers to attend the school council meetings and help keep the minutes and contribute to the discussions. The Head teacher Mr. Rose also attends and gets involved in discussions. He gives advice on the budget and tells the pupils how much things cost. The school council meets twice a term.
Amy L is a Year 6 council member for 2007/8 and she says ‘The school council works very hard for the school to get nice things for the children and make the school a nicer working environment.’
For more information about the school council please contact Mrs. Robinson, the PSHE coordinator or the Head teacher.
Here are some pictures of the School Council for this year.

Stivichall School Council And Eco-committee
Stivichall School Council is a group of children who have been elected to represent their class.
Four of the representatives are given extra jobs. These are Chair, Secretary, Minutes Secretary and Treasurer.
The council meetings are held once every six weeks, one a half term and are always on a Friday at 1:30pm.
The children run the meetings but the Head teacher, Deputy Head and two other teachers from KS2 and KS1 are there to help.
Before each meeting the classes rep asks the class if there is anything they want them taking forward to the council.
Stivichall School Council started off by all the children having a vote to decide if we thought it a good idea or not to have a School Council. It was voted yes and so later on children from years 1-6 brought in manifestos and classes decided for themselves who they thought would make a good school councilor.
After, there were elections. Only children were allowed to vote. Now in 2007 Stivichall School Council is running for the 8th time.
Things that have been done through School Council are new bird boxes, litterbins, picnic benches and lots more.
