At our school, we have three different councils. Each council plays an integral role in making decisions that will improve our school. All three councils meet at least once per half-term and have the chance to share their work with the rest of our school community.

Two children from Year 1 to Year 6, and one child from The Orchard, are voted into each council each academic year by their peers.

Children who have not had the chance to represent our school in previous years are strongly encouraged to put themselves forward for a role.

School

The School Council are given significant responsibilities and are able to share the voice of the pupils in their classes. They regularly meet with the Headteacher, Mr Ashcroft, to share their thoughts about areas of the school they would like to see improved as well as ideas about holding various events, including raising money for charity. The council meet each half-term with each member of the council holding a specific role which helps them to shape important areas of our school.

Eco

Our Eco Council are constantly exploring new ways to adapt the way in which we do everyday tasks so that we are more eco-aware. They regularly complete local litter picks and dog poo sweeps to improve areas local to our school. They have also worked with the local council to recycle Christmas trees in our Forest School. The Eco Council regularly organises the recycling of batteries, plastic bottles, Christmas trees, ink cartridges, food waste as well as biodegradable rubbish in our 'homemade' compost bins.

Sports

Our Sports Council meet regularly to help decide, plan and then organise the half-termly intra-school sports competitions such as cross-country, orienteering and Sports Day for all of our children take part in.

Eco Council Achievements

In 2018-2019, the Eco Council achieved the Gold Green Tree Award on behalf of the Woodland Trust as well as the School's Wild Challenge organised by the RSPB.  We also received a recycling award from Wyre Borough Council.

In June 2019, the Eco Council were delighted to be invited to the Lancashire Green Hero Awards for their many contributions to promoting eco awareness. At the awards, they were so excited to be named Eco School of the Year for Lancashire.
