Welcome to the School Council

The School Council at Firbeck Academy represent a key part of pupil voice for our school community. They are an essential pillar in the democracy of the school and are given the capacity to implement real changes and officiate whole school events.

As we begin our journey ot becoming a Right Respecting School our School Council will be the steering group to ensure our action plan is implemented.

Pupils are voted in to the council by their peers. Pupils apply for the position standing up and sharing why they would make a good candidate with their peers before votes are cast.

The elected Council is made up of two representatives from each year group. The school council is led by Mrs Smith. They meet every couple of weeks to discuss key areas of school improvement and review how teaching and learning is across school. These meetings are generally pupil-led, with the support of Mrs Smith based on the agenda items.

The Council discuss all aspects of school life. It is anticipated that they will use their allocated budget to support the improvement of the school grounds and experience of all pupils.
