At Grange Farm we are very proud of the work done by our School Council.

 They have been involved in many changes that have taken place, including:

• putting forward suggestions for after school clubs
• gathering ideas on how they would like their book corners to look
• discussing how to make the playground more enjoyable for children.

The School Council also forms part of the Trust Forum and works alongside children in the Leeds East Primary Partnership to share teaching and learning ideas.

There is one representative from each class from years one to six. Each year new members are voted, very democratically, onto the School Council. Each class holds its own election and selects one candidate who then becomes the School Councillor for the following school year.  The School Council then meet termly to highlight important issues that affect everyone in school. Ideas are discussed then reported back to classes before any final decisions are made. In this way, we aim to ensure all children are given an opportunity to ‘have a voice’ in school on those issues which affect them the most!

The School Councillors are always proud of their opportunity to make changes in school and always put in a lot of effort and commitment to make sure their year in office is successful!
