We would like to introduce our 2023-2024 School Council members

Welcome to the Combs School Council page

At Combs Infant School we are proud to have pupil representatives that take part in our School Council meetings. These meetings are held every half term and are in place so that pupils have a voice and are involved in decisions about the school that affect them. All pupils have the opportunity to raise issues, share ideas and take part in discussions that involve all of their classmates in reaching a democratic solution. The issues that arise are discussed further at School Council, this ensures that as many pupil voices as possible are heard. The children of Combs know that this is their school and their thoughts and ideas matter.

Student Council members are nominated and then voted in by their class mates, they are not be chosen by their teachers.

What is our School Council for?

The school council is about:

• Learning to work together

• Learning about democracy

• Learning how to play a positive role in our community
  To improve the school according to the children's point of view
  The School Council work together in finding out things that they want to change and improve within our school. They listen to the other children and take note of their worries, ideas, recommendations and thoughts. The council members then meet to discuss their findings and come up with ways to make these improvements. They involve the other children and adults and put these ideas in to actions.

   

  The School Council will try to make these ideas happen by getting:

• Permission

• Support

• Money

• Time

   

  What will staff do for the School Council?

• Make sure meetings happen when they are supposed to.

• Support pupils to run meetings.

• Take minutes of the meetings.
