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.”
