School Council
 
School Council electionsVoting took place this week for our School Council representatives. 
 
Each pupils wrote a manifesto, and each form voted for a representative to represent them on the Council.
 
You can read a selection of manifestoes on the School website
New School Code of Conduct
code of conduct
Our School Council have worked hard on the School's Code of Conduct.
 
Pupils discuss it during their Personal, Social, Health, Citizenship Education lessons and it is a focus of many of our assemblies. Please read the Code of Conduct and talk about it with your children.
 
Some of the concepts are difficult for young people to understand so help explaining these concepts to them is very useful. Thank you for your help.
Snack
snackPlease could I ask that only fruit is brought to school for morning break and no Kiwi Fruit.
 
Some pupils have allergies to the contents of some pre prepared snack bars so staff need to be vigilant about the break time snacks.
