School Council

At Prince Avenue Academy and Nursery we are proud to have pupil representatives that take part in Class and School Council meetings. This Council is in place so that pupils have a voice and are involved in decisions about the school that affect them. Through class discussions all pupils have the opportunity to raise issues, share ideas and take part in discussions that involve all of their peers in reaching a democratic solution. Wider issues that arise within class discussions are then discussed further at School Council, this ensures that as many pupil voices as possible are heard. Pupils at Prince Avenue know that this is their school and their thoughts and ideas matter.

The School Council is composed of two representatives from each year group, who elect a chairperson, a vice chair person and a secretary.  They meet regularly and often run charity or school fundraising events.

It is the class representatives' role to :

Attend meetings regularly.

Talk to the children they represent and give their views to the School Council.

Feedback from the School Council to the children.

Make suggestions for change and have ideas to share with the School Council.
