School Council

Bettridge Student Council is made up of representatives from a selection of classes across the pathways.

Their role is to represent the views of pupils in their class, Key Stage and pathway, to celebrate what is working well and to discuss ideas on how to improve our school. The Student Council meet every half term.

The Student Council aims are for the pupils to have a voice within our school by:

Sharing good news about their class or individuals
Sharing problems and trying to come up with solutions
Sharing ideas about how to make our school better
Talking to their classes and finding out information to share
Being involved in the recruitment process of new staff

Every September members from classes are chosen, either by the class teacher or by the other pupils to represent their class at the school council meetings.

The members of the Student Council this year are:

__________

The Student Council meet regularly and members of the council are given the opportunity to share news from their classes. The Student Council think about solutions to problems or improvements they would like and how they can raise money or get support to put their plans into action.

The children who represent their class at the school council will:

Develop their communication skills
Work as part of a team to make changes and improvements
Develop problem solving and negotiation skills
Grow in self-confidence and increase their self-esteem

At Bettridge we feel it is really important to give all our pupils a voice. The Student Council aims to encourage young leadership, decision making and therefore the pupils’ contribution to school life. The Student Council is an essential part of life at Bettridge.
