Article 12 – All children have a right to be able to give their opinion when adults are making a decision that will affect them, and adults should take it seriously.
Our School Council aims to provide a real and resonating voice for all of its pupils. Its aim is to discuss ideas and suggestions that will help improve and develop the school in different ways. Every year, classes from Year 1 to Year 6 select 2 children to serve on the council. School Councillors consult with their class on a weekly basis (after each School Council meeting) to seek opinion, discuss ideas and listen to class ideas. School Councillors will be able to deliver Key Stage and Whole school Collective Worships to provide insight into the issues they have been discussing in meetings.
Each member of School Council wants to make a difference. Here are some of their thoughts about how they want to make a difference by being on School Council.
What we think the school already does well:
- Bringing children together
- Fun learning and exciting topics
- Verbal skills and sharing ideas
- Teaching about God
- Positive playtimes
- Helping each other with their work
- Listening to our friends and teachers
- Ensuring children are aware of global issues

Recent Topics and Events 2026
School Council have a busy term a head of them, organising a new fundraising event for the school, developing our rememberence garden for Mrs Day.
One of our Year 6 School Council members has spearheaded a fantastic idea where each class can get involved in raising some money. Each class will have £15 donated by FSMS to spend on resources. The aim is to make and create items to sell and raise more than the amount that was donated by FSMS. School Council have then discussed ways in which this can be implemented as a school.
School Council will be delivering a collective worship to their classes where they will discuss their ideas and come up with two plans: for example, making cakes or friendship bracelets. School Council will then bring back each classes ideas and we will finalise what each class will do.
The money raised will go towards buying seeds and plants to go in our remembrance garden for Mrs Day. The children are keen for the garden to be colourful and a place for insects and wildlife to thrive.
