East Boldon School Council

School Council is a team of pupils who have been democratically elected by their classes to attend meetings and decide how we can help to improve our school. Just as in our Local Councils and in Parliament, we present our campaign and our classmates vote for us. We attend fortnightly meetings and we talk to Mrs Martin about how we can improve our school.

In September our new School Council has been elected – it ties in perfectly with our first half term’s British Value: ‘Democracy’.

We have already met this year and have asked the staff to look at the following agenda items together:

  • campaigning for classroom carpets
  • campaigning for new PE uniform
  • choosing enrichment activities
  • suggestions of new songs for Singing Assemblies
  • reopening of the school tuck shop

In previous years, we were able to put lots in place for the pupils here at East Boldon Juniors:

East Boldon Energy Elephants;

Creation of our Multi-Use Games Arena (MUGA);

Lost property organisation;

end of year Family Picnic

and we were able to meet our local MP Kate Osbourne
