Matthew Arnold School Council
What is the School Council?
The Student Council is an elected group of children who meet and work together to represent the pupils of Matthew Arnold. They are supported by Mrs Badger and Miss Bauress.
Who can be a member of the School Council?
At the start of each academic year (in September) each class will nominate two children – normally a boy and a girl – to become their class councillors. Every class from Year one up to Year Six votes for the children that they think will be able to represent their class best at School Council meetings.
When do School Council meetings take place?
Meetings take place twice a half term on a Wednesday afternoon.
What did the School Council achieve last year?
During the academic year 2022-2023, the School Council made changes to school lunches, dojo prizes, how to improve reading and how to improve the playground.
