School Council
At St. Aidan’s we have a very committed and active school council.
Our council consists of a group of children who were elected by their classmates to represent their views and help improve the St. Aidan’s. It gives children a voice and helps them to learn about democracy, responsibility, and teamwork.
Members of the school council meet regularly with teachers or school leaders to discuss ideas, plan events, and find ways to make the school a better place for everyone.
Through the council, pupils can suggest changes, organize fundraisers, and take part in decision-making, helping them develop confidence and leadership skills from a young age.
