Academy Council

The role of a councillor is an important one. You will have done very well to be appointed by your classmates, should you become a councillor.

• You will represent all of the children in the school at your council meetings. This is your main role. If anyone tells you a problem or makes a suggestion, you will be able to tell everyone about it at the meeting.
• The council will have a small budget, so you will have to think carefully about what you would like to spend this money on.
• Whenever we appoint a new teacher or teaching assistant, you will be involved in the interview process.
• You will be invited to some governor meetings, so that you can express your views to this important panel.
• You may be invited to speak in assemblies over the year.
• You will be expected to guide visitors around the school.

These are just a few responsibilities that you will have. You will have a special badge, which you should wear every day, so that other children know that you are a member of the council.
