School Council

Our School Council represents the views of all our pupils. It gives children the opportunity to make their voices heard and feel part of the whole school community.
 
Oldway Primary School has a School Council made up of pupils from years R to 6.  One representative from each class is elected by their peers. Before the elections, children are asked to present to their class why they would make a good school council representative and then an official class vote takes place. 

 

Oldway's School Council meets regularly with Mr Hallett to discuss their views (and the views of their class peers) on how certain aspects of the school should be run and other current issues.   

As our projects develop, we will update you on this page and we will post photos of us in action.

Half-termly update: March 2024

 

We are very proud of our 'Pupil Voice' here at Oldway and our School Council is the heart of this.

 

At Oldway, our School Council help to represent all of the pupils across our school. The School Council, led by Mr Hallett and our wonderful Student Leaders, share information with and from their classes and ask them about a range of issues from how to improve our school to how we can help the wider community. We meet weekly in our fantastic 'Adult Learning Centre' to discuss what we need to be doing as a council.

Over the year so far, we have discussed many things including: aspiration for future careers, lunchtime improvement, selecting potential charities for us to donate to and healthy eating at break times. The School Council were also influential in the changing of our rewards system to House Points.

 

The big news from the School Council however, is that we have been successful in being allocated funding to develop a gardening area within the school grounds that we hope will benefit not just our school community but our wider community too. More news about this will be coming soon.

 

We hope you all have a great Easter, from all involved with the School Council
