Annual Summaries
A summary of 2022 – 2023
This year the School Council encouraged the importance of a friendly school community by promoting ‘Anti-Bullying’ initiatives. They defined what bullying means, and identified the differences between an ‘unkind’ action and ‘bullying’ to encourage the correct usage of the word. They concluded that ‘Bullying is when you are continuously unkind but just being mean once is not.’ The School Council also shared ways in which children can be nicer to one another and how to report unkind incidents. For Anti-Bullying Week, the School Council encouraged everyone to wear odd socks in support of the 2022 ‘Odd Socks Day’ theme of ‘Reaching Out’ – which encouraged children to reach out to someone who is subjected to experiencing unkind actions.
A summary of 2021 – 2022
This year the School Council focussed on promoting regular attendance, celebrating and appreciating diversity within families and communities, and encouraging a ‘greener’ society, in collaboration with the Eco Team. Action items saw the children holding regular assemblies for KS1 and KS2 to promote eco-friendly initiatives and activities in and around the school, such as using reusable water bottles, and switching off lights and electronic items when not in use. The School Council also held assemblies promoting attendance, by encouraging three slogans within the school; ‘Don’t be late to write the date! Go to school daily, it’s smart.’, ‘Missing school = Missing out!’ and ‘Rise and shine, you’ll get there on time.”
