GEMS SCHOOL COUNCIL

School Council

A whole-school commitment to pupil voice

Vision

As a School Council, we see ourselves as the voice of all pupils in the school. We ensure that all views are taken into account in decisions about teaching, learning, fundraising and the success of our school.

School Council Meetings

School Council meet every month to discuss the ideas, decide on the most effective ways to change and improve the school and then talk to the people who can help to make it happen.

School Council regularly share news and information about new initiatives and the important things that are achieved.

Together we can help Gosforth East Middle to continue to grow and succeed.
