School Council



At West Lodge, we believe that our pupils should be able to make a positive contribution to their school community. Our School Council gives them an opportunity to use and develop their decision-making and citizenship skills within a structured forum that allows them play an influential part in the policymaking process, which defines our school environment and ethos.

Each class from Year 2 through to Year 6 democratically elects two members to the School Council each term. The elected members then appoint a Chairperson, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer from the serving Committee Members.

A School Council suggestion box is held in each classroom into which written suggestions are posted either signed or anonymous as preferred. These are opened at the fortnightly meetings, which are held during the lunch break each Wednesday, and the Committee will decide on those items for discussion and further action. Although the pupils run the meetings, a Staff representative will also attend the meeting as a facilitator to ensure that all matters requiring action from Senior Management or staff members are actioned.
