School Council

 2024-2025

The school council met half termly to discuss ways in which they could shape the school and which charity to raise funds for.

Autumn 1
All new school councillors were chosen and in our initial meeting the school council were tasked with asking their classes which local charity we would like to support this year.

Autumn 2
The children’s ward at the Queen Elizabeth hospital was unanimously selected by every class. The school council then decided to use the Christmas Jumper Day as a way of collecting money to support the charity.

Spring 1
The school council met with print-outs of the children’s ward’s Amazon wish list. With over £300 raised, the school council were able to vote and select many items from the list. These items raised from practical resources like batteries, and soap all the way to whole role-play oven and kitchen sets.

Spring 2
As a school, we were contacted by Tapping House about their upcoming bottle tombola they would be running in the Summer. They asked if, as a school council, we could organise a bottle drive for donations.

Summer 1
The school council met to discuss how the bottle drive would work. After different ideas and discussions it was decided each class would have a box for the bottles to be collected in. These bottles would be counted up on the last day of the bottle drive, which would last a week, and then the class with the most would earn an extra play time.

Summer 2
The bottle drive was a huge success and we collected just under 500 bottles. Cedar class collected the most bottles with an amazing 54! These were dropped off at the Tapping House fundraising office and the staff were blown away with the school’s donation. We are awaiting contact from Tapping House to see how much their stall at the Sandringham Flower Show raised.
