Who is on the council?

Our school councillors are elected democratically by their class peers from each class in Key Stage 1 and 2. Each councillor has their photo displayed in the entrance area, and door to their classroom. Badges are awarded in assembly and worn on the school uniform. 
Welcome to our new school councillors for 2026-2027!

How many members of staff are on the School Council?

Mrs Juriansz coordinates the school council meetings and activities, liaising with the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership Team. 
 

How is the council elected?

Any pupil may stand for election by making a written manifesto as to why they would be a suitable councillor for their class and make a speech to their class. For younger children, this can be an informal discussion. The representative is determined by a class blind vote on ballot papers. The results are counted and announced to the class.
 

How often does the council meet? 
A meeting is held fortnightly or weekly depending on the agenda at the time. The councillors meet on a Monday lunch time. There is an agenda and minutes are taken and shared with the Head Teacher and SLT.

What sort of issues does the council discuss?

The agenda is drawn up by the councillors after discussions with their class as to any issues that children would like addressing. The ‘suggestions book’ is also looked at and any issues discussed. The council is involved in decision making and being a ‘voice’ for the children of our school. They organise and coordinate whole school competitions, stalls at school events and represent Rosewood in our local community, such as the local care homes. 
 

How are the results of school council meetings fed back to the rest of the school?

Each representative feeds back to their class after the school council meeting. The minutes are displayed on the notice board.
