School Council
The School Council
The School Council is made up of a councillor and a deputy from each class. At the beginning of the Spring term the children who were interested in becoming class councillors gave a personal presentation to their classes describing how their individual qualities and characteristics made them suitable for the role. Each class then held a democratic election to appoint their chosen representatives. The council meets on a half termly basis.
These are the elected councillors and deputies for 2021 – 2022:
Robins Green: Yousuf I and Razane E
Robins Blue: Zayd P and Ricards K
Woodpeckers: Ahmad U and Shurayh M
Kingfishers: Anayah P and Sakina S
Swallows: Adam M and Shan A

Hawks: Zara A and Owais K

At our second meeting, Faris was elected Chairperson and Zara and Mohammad Haseeb were elected to share the role of Secretary.
