School Council

At Eccleston Mere Primary School, we have children from KS2 who represent their class in school council meetings. They feed back what has been discussed to their peers and collect new proposals.  

How does our School Council work?
The school council is run by children, with an allocated Chairperson leading the meeting and the Secretary taking the minutes. They work together to type up the minutes and deliver them to each class. Mrs Noblett guides the council to conduct these meeting.

How are School Councillors elected?
At the start of each academic year, children in KS2 who are interested in being on the school council obtain two nominess, complete an application form and prepare a speech to their class outlining why they would be a good school councillor. Classes select the best candidate through a voting process.

Special Guests
We do, from time to time have guest councillors if a child comes forward with an interesting proposal. We also meet with the Junior Road Safety officers to share ideas and help school. We have also invited professionals and members of staff to come and chat to us too.

Some of the changes that school council have put in place are:

  • More extra-curricular clubs
  • More sports competitions
  • More upbeat assembly songs
  • Year 6 prefects to help throughout school
  • Corridor monitors
  • Packed lunch children to sit with hot dinner children
  • Playground equipment for all classes
  • School discos
  • Cake sales
  • Charity collections and donations
  • Foodbank collections and delivery of supplies to the Foodbank Centre
