HCA School Council

At HCA School, pupil voice is integral to the decision making of many aspects of school life. The School Council acts like a mini-democracy - voting on important issues. The School Council is run by the children who have been voted as Class Councillors.  They have meetings to help the school become a better place to learn. 

​

Our Council has a Chair and Vice chair, Secretary, Treasurer and four class representatives from Year 2 - Year 6. Those children have to be voted for in a similar way to a General Election. They prepare a speech which they present to their class teacher, then the school votes for them to represent their interests at the full School Council meetings. 

​

When you are a Class Councillor, you have to wear a special badge so that people know what your role is and so they can ask you to take ideas to the next meeting. 

​

This year the School Council has created an action plan which outlines their key actions. They also use the school development plan to support their work in school. This includes a building, teaching and learning and eco target. 

​

This year our mains actions are:

• To fundraise to buy more laptops for Key Stage 2 (teaching and learning)

• To design a new muriel for the key stage 2 wall and design something to go in place of the chalk board in the infant playground (buildings)

• To improve the school garden alongside the Eco Group (eco).
