School Council
We have 13 school counsellors. Each class from Year 1 to Year 6 has a representative, which we believe is the fairest way to ensure everyone has a say about our school. The councillors are voted in by their peers and remain in post for the whole school year.
School Council meetings are held every fortnight, where possible, and events happening across the school are discussed and promoted such as Macmillan Coffee Morning, Children in Need, Red Nose Day/Sports Relief.
As councillors, their job is to try to make the school as good as it can be for all pupils. At every meeting, they take time to try to think of new ideas to help everyone learn better or to make the school a better place to be!
Currently the school council are working on exciting projects; applying for a grant to get a new bike shed and deciding on new playground markings.
Class Councils are being held so each class can feed into the main agenda and help to make the school the very best it can be, so that pupils feel their voice is heard by the leadership and Governors of the school.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
The School Council ran the coffee morning in their classes and sold cakes, this raised an amazing amount of money for an extremely worthwhile charity. They helped advertise the event and sold cakes to their parents/carers later in the day.
Some of our councillors also represented the school by attending a coffee morning held in Maldon Town Hall.
Walk to school initiative
The School Council has set up the WOW Travel Tracker initiative to encourage all pupils to walk to school. This is recorded in the classes and pupils are rewarded with stickers and badges, which they wear proudly around the school.
Maldon Food Pantry
Some of our pupils visited Maldon Food Pantry. They had the opportunity to help stock the shelves and got an insight into how this organisation can help families in the Maldon community.
