School Council 

The School Council at Woodland Community Primary School is a collaborative and pupil led group, with pupils from Reception to Year 6 taking part in half-termly meetings and discussions about issues facing the school. The children will have the opportunity to share and implement ideas that will help improve our school and community. Members of the School Council will be responsible for implementing ideas that have been agreed and shared with their peers. 

What will the School Council do?

• Be a spokesperson for their peers and ensure everyone has a voice.
• Identify any issues within their year group and give feedback at meetings. 
• Improve school and the community for all.
• Decide on action points for improvements.
• Prioritise issues and the needs of the school. 
• School tours for visitors. 
• Be ambassadors for the school at important events. 
• Help organise events.

Arch Alliance School Council 10.11.22

Today, Woodland chaired the first Arch Alliance School Council. Woodland welcomed the schools from the Arch Alliance to begin to discuss our community project. As this was our first meeting, we began by talking about our individual qualities, before discussing our individual school values and how they can positively impact our community. 

"Respect, proactive and positive" were strong themes running throughout.

Thank you to Heap Bridge Primary, St Luke's Primary, Harwood Park, St Michael's, All Souls and Hopwood.
