“A friendly, creative environment for learning together”
School Council
”School Council gives our children a voice in the development of Stannington Infant School and the local community. Children are elected annually and the council has two representatives from each Y1 and Y2 class. School Council meetings are held regularly, usually twice each half term with Mrs Everitt.
We believe that the School Council encourages children to understand and value the ideals of democracy and citizenship. Each year our council makes links with other local schools, which can include joint projects, visiting each school and sharing the best ideas. We enjoy working together on group projects each year.
Here are our School Council representatives:
Year 1 Class 3
Rory – ‘I like to help people.’
Fearne – ‘I want to do a job in school.’
Year 1 Class 4
Jack – ‘I want to make the school yard better.’
Alyssa- ‘I like to help make decisions.’
Year 2 Class 5
Joshua – ‘I like to help make things better.’
Finley – ‘I like to help make decisions.’
Year 2 Class 6
Frances – ‘I have good ideas to share’.
Lyla – ‘I like meeting and speaking to other children.’
