Pupil Voice

 

The School Council

We are very proud of our School Council.

Led by five elected Chairs from Year 6 each year, the Council has a real and vital role in the leadership of our school and its improvement. The whole school votes in the election for the five Chairs from Year 6 who each lead one of our Houses: Armstrong, Attenborough, Elizabeth, Nightingale and Rashford.

They are supported by a Community and S=P+A+C+E for ME team, a small group of Secretaries, a Finance team (who run our stationery shop), a Communications team, a team of Digital leaders and eco-warriors with the Headteacher’s Task Force and Sports Crew. Alongside these teams is a group of dedicated Reading Ambassadors from Year 6 who promote a love of reading across the school by supporting classes with their book corners, working in the library and leading our involvement in Book Week.

Their collective role is a significant one, helping lead and implement change that it is right for our School.

St Thomas' Eco Warriors

Our Eco warriors

To help keep our school green and clean, each class elects an Eco-warrior (led by the Year 6 eco warriors). As a team the Eco-warriors have written an eco-code for the school and encourage everyone to follow it and promote ways in which we can be environmentally friendly.  A real focus last year was on healthy eating in school and reducing waste. This year they are very keen to work on improving our outdoor environment, particularly our garden areas and greenhouse and how to improve air quality in and around the school by reducing traffic pollution and improving ventilation around the school building. This builds on our work with Surrey University which you can read here.

We are proud of our Silver Eco-School status but we are working hard to get to Green Flag status.

This is the eco-code that we have written for our school and we expect everyone to follow it – including the teachers and parents!

Our Eco-Warrior Code

Keep our playground green –

  • Pick up our litter. The bin is the best place for it!
  • Use the correct bin!

Save energy and water –

  • Turn off taps and lights. This helps to save money.
  • Keep windows closed when heating is on.
  • Turn off the screens.

Reuse the rubbish –

  • Food goes in our mouths or the waste bin.
  • Reuse plastic bags.
  • If you don’t want your clothes, someone else will!

Come to school in a green way –

You can find out more about our eco-code by watching the film we made putting it into action… Mr Jones, we hope you have learnt your lesson!

Wellbeing Ambassadors

Eikon helped us establish our Wellbeing Ambassadors group. This is a pupil-led programme for children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6. It is designed to amplify our student voice on whole school wellbeing. 

The aim is for our Wellbeing Ambassadors to understand how to look after their own wellbeing and to learn how to promote and support wellbeing in our school.

The children team up creating ideas and initiatives which support positive Mental Health and Wellbeing for all of our children. This is a really important role in our school. Miss Davis and Mrs Scott can be contacted for more information.
