        Part of the ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda.

Children are taught about democracy and how the system works.

They are also encouraged to take part in the decision making process within school.

Each class elects a class councillor. School Council elections will be held on 30.10.14.

Council gives the children a voice and a forum to enter into discussions about things that matter to them.

e.g Installing the ‘Buddy Bench’ on the playground.

OFSTED will write to the School Council when they visit Hart Plain. They meet with the members to discuss positive aspects and targets for the school.
