School Council

A whole-school commitment to pupil voice

Our school council is a body of students, elected by their peers, in a formal election setting. They represent the views of all the students at Gosforth East Middle school on decisions that impact them and consider ways to improve our school and implement change.

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. We aim to enhance citizenship to create a happy, healthy, safe and enriching learning environment and develop projects that involve everybody, build good relationships with our local community and improve the environment.

In class, School Council representatives share and discuss ideas for ways to improve our school.

The School Council representative records ideas in our Class Council files to bring to the next School Council meeting for discussion.

We hold Class Council meetings once a month.

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.
