School Council

2024-2025

A school council provides a meaningful way in which pupils can voice their opinions and have their views taken into account in decisions that impact upon them. Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) -Respect for views of the child.

At The Round House, the school council has always been an important part of our school.  It allows the pupils to have their say about different matters which affect our school, well-being and our learning. 

Every pupil has the right to express their ideas and to have a student voice. They help to makes decisions about school life and organise projects that support learning and development, such as organising charity events, theme days or representing the school at outside events.

We value the opinions of our pupils and our school council gives pupils a forum to share these opinions with our school council teacher representative, Headteacher and other members of staff.

Our School Council is made up of representatives from across the school.

Year 6 children have the roles of:

• Chair
• Vice Chair 
• Treasurer
• Secretary  

Year 6 roles are selected by the teachers and senior leadership team and are part of the Year 6 roles and responsibilities.

In addition, there are class representatives from each class from Year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. These children are elected democratically by the peers in their class. One of the roles of the Vice Chair is to represent the pupils of Pre-School and Reception.
