Belvedere Infant School
Our School Council represent our school community and are the pupil voice. Each Reception and Key Stage 1 class nominates a representative who is aware of the qualities a School Council Member must show at all times, therefore being a role model to all.
They meet with Mr Powell once a month and feed back to their class any information as well as bringing concerns from their class to the council meetings. The meetings are minuted in and then discussed as a whole class. New points and opinions are taken back to the meetings and discussed further.
As part of their duties they meet regularly with Mr Mason-Ellis to discuss how they, and the children they respresent, feel about the school and what could be improved upon. We take the pupil’s viewpoints very seriously and act on what they have to say.
Eco Council
The Eco Council is a group of enthuasiastic children who meet every month to help make our school a cleaner, greener place. Out main job is to keep our school tidy and litter-free, encouraging everyone to look after the environment. The Eco-Council also thinks about how the choices we make today can impact the world in the future; making sure we all understand the importance of protecting nature.
As part of their work, the Eco-Council learns about recycling and how we can reduce waste in our school. They create posters and take part in activities that inspire everyone to be eco-friendly, from saving energy to using less plastic. By working together, the Eco-Council team helps make our school a more sustainable place for everyone!
Belvedere Junior School
School Council
At Belvedere Junior School, we ensure every child has the opportunity to be heard. Every week, our children have their voice heard in a variety of ways. We discuss important topics during our Votes for Schools lessons and ensure everyone has their votes counted and shared with the V4S community. Every class also has a discussion around a P4C topic each week where children learn to share their ideas thoughtfully.
Through the School and Eco Council, children have the chance to suggest ideas and make big, positive changes across the school and feel that they have an impact on their safe, happy learning. We believe that our pupils need to have ownership of their learning. It is not just important for our pupils to have a voice, but for the adults in our school to hear them.
