At Herrick, our priority is to ‘give each and everyone a chance’. Being part of the School Council allows the children to be part of the life and daily diaries of our school and share ideas and opinions of school life.

What is the role of the school councillors?

Meetings
School Council allows children to express their ideas and views about how to improve Herrick. Our School Council is an opportunity for children to make a positive change!

Listen
Any of the pupils can talk to us at any time to let us know if they have a concern about something at school or if they have a great idea they would like to make happen for the school.

Help
The School Council help around the school and are involved in events in school.



What have we achieved so far?

• Litter picking to keep our school tidy and safe
• Setting up and assisting with Sports Day
