School Council
King’s Hedges Educational Federation School Council
AT KHEF we believe in listening to the voices and views of our pupils. ‘Pupil Voice’ is important to us. Our School Council is made up of a group of children elected by their peers. Voting takes place after pupils have put themselves forward, usually with a short speech that showcases their qualifications relevant to the position. Representatives often have their own ideas about how they would like to improve the school and they are keen to work with others, including the Senior Leadership Team, as well as wearing their badge with pride. Weekly meetings involve sharing working on tasks, collecting information, sharing viewpoints and explaining what they see happening in the school in their particular year group.
Some of our school councillors were lucky to have a meeting with MP Daniel Zeichner, where they talked about life in politics and inspiring the next generation.

Some thoughts from the School Council reps as they leave their role.
|
I liked best the discussions between other members and the sharing, agreeing and debating between ourselves. |
|
Being brave and standing up in front of the whole class and asking questions. |
|
Being able to decide what to do on special days, such as non-uniform. |
|
I liked just coming and communicating. I enjoyed it a lot when we counted up the money! |
|
I liked being able to give up my lunch-time to attend school council. |
|
I enjoyed it when we got our photos put on the school board because I really appreciated it. |
