Smart School Council helps every child to engage and lead change in their world through democracy.

The programme, run by our Communication Team, enables every child’s voice to be involved in topical discussions while they are at school, and that pupils can learn a broad range of key skills as a result.

 Our Smart School Council is helping our young people to: 

• Learning to work together
• Learning about democracy and pupil voice
• Learning how to play a positive role in our community

 It is for everyone in our school, helping pupils to: 

• Find things they want to change
• Come up with ways to make them better
• Put those ideas into action
• See what works (evaluating)
   

Our Smart School Council is driven by our Communication Team, who decide and circulate a question of the half term. They then work together with the action team to ensure that suggestions , made by their peers across the school, are then discussed and acted upon, where possible.
