Inspiring Leadership. Driving Change. Serving Our Community.

Our School Council Leadership Group is a dedicated team of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils who work together to make a real difference within our school and the wider community.

This is not simply a discussion group — it is an active leadership body where pupils take responsibility, lead initiatives and represent the voice of their peers.

Our Vision

We believe children are capable of meaningful leadership when given real responsibility.

Our School Council exists to:

• Develop confident, responsible leaders

• Strengthen pupil voice

• Promote environmental responsibility

• Build strong community links

• Create positive and lasting change within our school

Our Three Departments

The School Council combines three key areas of leadership:

🌱 Environmental Department

Leading sustainability projects, promoting environmental awareness and driving eco-friendly initiatives across the school.

⭐ Leadership Department 

Representing pupil voice, supporting school events and modelling outstanding behaviour and responsibility.

🔄 Department for Change 

Identifying areas for improvement and planning meaningful projects that positively impact school life.

Community Partnership

Members of the School Council visit Abbeyfield once a month (first Tuesday of each month) to strengthen community links.

These visits help pupils:

• Build relationships across generations

• Develop empathy and communication skills

• Understand the importance of service and citizenship

Together, these departments ensure that every decision and action supports our school community.
