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.

• Improve school and the community for all.
• Decide on action points for improvements.
• Prioritise issues and the needs of the school.

School Council Meeting - 13.03.2024

Today, the School Council met with Mrs Davies and Mrs Lewis-Woodbridge to discuss the actions that had been made from the previous meeting. We discussed the negative impact of smoking and vaping and how there was an increase in children partaking in it. We discussed possible ways of reducing the number of or even stopping children using vapes. We introduced the members to and anti-vaping campaign linked to a competition. The school council members spoke to their peers in assembly about the campaign and competition. 

Our meeting with Mrs Davies and Mrs Lewis-Woodbridge - 27.03.2024

Our meeting with Mrs Davies and Mrs Lewis-Woodbridge - 01.05.2024

Today, our children spoke about our ideas for making school a better place and developing a grass area for planting in the school grounds. Our council members thought it would be a lovely idea to create a positivity pebble pathway. This would consist of pebbles being painted by every child and adult in school. Plans have been taken to Mrs Cunningham and will be shown to the school governors for consideration.
