The School Council at Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School are drawn from pupils from Y2 to Y6. They are democratically elected by their peers in exciting elections, which are held every September.

The aim of the council is to collect the views of children around the school, discuss ways to make our school even better and contribute to final decision making with Mrs Partington, the governors and the leadership team. 

We meet regularly to discuss issues such as: how to keep ourselves safe, how to improve facilities around school, regular meetings with the school cook to make the lunch menu even better, and carrying out surveys to acquire pupil voice.

What is meant by voting?

Voting happens when a group of people get together so that they can make a collective decision. Everyone in our school listened to the speeches of pupils who wanted to represent our school on the School Council this year. Everyone was given a ballot paper to mark who they would like to represent them. This ballot paper was put into the ballot box and later counted.
