School Council

Each class from Year 2 to Year 6 selects a School Council Representative and a deputy.
The council meet regularly to discuss a wide variety of school issues. They feedback to classes and listen to the views of the children. Ideas are then brought back to the main School Council meetings to be discussed.

Swaffield's School Council for this academic year was elected in September 2024 by their classmates.

Current Focus

We have chosen two charities – Centrepoint and Lia’s Wings

How Is School Council Chosen?

Children in each class vote for a School Council Member and a Deputy to represent their class at School Council meetings and to feedback the outcomes of those meetings to their class. 

What Does School Council Do?

School Council takes part in lots of activities including:

• Coming up with ideas to help improve the school and make decisions
• Sharing in some of the policy making such as the new School Rules
• Thinking of ways to contribute locally and globally
• Supporting fundraising activities for Swaffield and charities
