HCA School Coucil


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 and four class representatives. Those three children have to be voted for in a similar way to a General Election. They prepare a speech which they present to the rest of the class, then the class 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.
​
Last year our mains actions were:
-
Plan, lead and deliver a whole school family day on collaboration and working together
-
Refurbish the key stage two toilets
-
Create more outdoor learning opportunities and improve the school garden.
