School Council

Why do we have a School's Council?

The School’s Council is an ideal opportunity for pupils to get more involved in the way the school is run. The School Council benefits the whole school, pupil and teachers, because it provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence decisions that are made. Councillors develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation. It is the responsibility of each Councillor to ensure that they express both their own views of all the other pupils they represent.

As there are so many classes in Ashton Gate, we run two School Councils; KS1 and KS2. We aim to meet at least once per term and hold a few joint school meetings throughout the year.
