Minutes from recent School Council Meetings

The children’s school council – representatives of two councillors from each class, Head girl and Head boy, has met recently to discuss our policies on educational school visits and Homework. A précis of the points raised can be found below. Please remember, these are children’s opinions – not necessarily changes that are appropriate for us to make, although some are very thought provoking! Many thanks for your continued interest.
