New Hall Primary School
New Hall Primary School: Love to Learn

Pupil Voice

At New Hall we know how important it is for all pupils to be involved in school life and to be listened to.

To this end we actively encourage participation in a range of additional responsibilities which impact on whole school decisions.

School Council

In September, all Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils take part in a secret ballot at our own polling station in order to elect two representatives per class for the School Council. Once the successful candidates have been announced, they are very busy for the rest of the year!

What the role of a school councillor involves:

  • Taking great pride in working together to make school an even better place.
  • Wear school councillor badges so everyone knows who they need to talk about making changes.
  • Meet at least once a fortnight to discuss topics that will help develop our school and the wider community.
  • Listen carefully to our peers and record their opinions in our school council books to share at the next meeting.
  • Share all our decisions with our teachers and classmates.
  • Try to be excellent role models for the other children.

What do you like about being a councillor?

  • “We have important meetings and make lots of decisions about our school. For example, we decided on the new school rules!”
  • “We get to meet children from other school councils too.”
  • “We love organising and hosting our annual New Hall’s Got Talent contest.”

Head Boy and Girl

In 2026/27 our Head Pupils are:

  • Freddie – Head Boy
  • Maisie – Head Girl
  • Kasper – Deputy Head Boy
  • Isla – Deputy Head Girl

“Hello, my name is Freddie and I’m head boy. I am so excited to embrace the roles I have got. I applied for this role because I wanted to make this school a better place.”

“Hi, I am Maisie, and I’m so glad I got this role as head girl. I will try my best to make this school the best it can be. This year, we are both mental health ambassadors for the school and we take on our roles in school with pride, we will show visitors around school, help at parents evening. The one thing we will enjoy the most is making children feel welcome when we pass them in the corridors.”

Prefects and Peer Mediators

What do you have to do as a Prefect at New Hall?

  • “My job allows me to be involved in important events like decorating the Christmas tree at a local church and selling poppies. The most important part of the role is being a role model to the children at New Hall.”
