Meet Our School Council
We are the school councillors at St Michael and All Angels Catholic Primary School and we have been elected by our peers.
Article 12 of the Convention on Rights of the Child states
‘All children have the right to an opinion.’
We are the pupil voice for the children at our school and we communicate with other stakeholders on a regular basis. We are always willing and able to put forward, and consider, other people’s views in our meetings and share information with the school council teacher representative, head of school and other members of staff.
We meet on a regular basis to help with decisions about school life, and we represent the school at meetings or outside events. We also organise projects that support learning and development, such as charity events and awareness days.
