At Bledington Primary we value all our children's ideas and opinions. Children hold a democratic vote at the beginning of each academic year to vote in two representatives. These children get the chance to meet once a fortnight to share ideas and changes with Mrs Rollins. Children then feed back to their classes about events and changes going on around the school. The children set their own agendas and aims for our meetings and get to make real changes around our school...

Our Current School Councillors are...

Owls: Bella and Lewis

Little Penguins: Jasmine and Casper

King Penguins: Willow and Aron

Emperor Penguins: Ellie and Macy

Cockatoos: Lara and River

Macaws: Alex and Martha

2019 - 20 School Council Aims

In our first meeting, this year's school council set out their aims for their year in office. Across the year, the children wanted to...

1) Raise money for several charities including children in need, fair trade and others.

2) Celebrate Christmas in lots of exciting new ways in school

3) Improve the facilities in the school forest

4) Increase the amount of house competitions and the feeling of belonging to a house

5) Use twitter and the school website to offer the children of Bledington a voice, in a safe way.

6) Listen to the play time activities children want and run them for our friends
