Our School Council is a group of children who are proud to represent the voices of children across our school. We meet regularly to share ideas, discuss important issues and help make decisions that make our school an even better place for everyone. Each member is chosen by their classmates and takes their role seriously, making sure everyone has a say in what happens in school life.
A big part of what we do is charity fundraising. We love helping others and finding fun, creative ways to raise money for good causes. Whether it’s organising non-uniform days, bake sales or special events, we always try to make a positive difference. We also lead collective worships to share information about the charities we are supporting, helping everyone understand why our fundraising matters and how it helps people in need.
This year, we are also beginning to focus on sustainability and how we can make our school more environmentally friendly. We’ll be thinking about things like reducing waste, recycling more, saving energy, and looking after our school grounds. We want to learn what sustainability really means and how we can all play a part in protecting our planet for the future.
Being part of the School Council helps us to build confidence, learn leadership skills and work together as a team.
We love supporting charities and helping those in need. Each year, our School Council helps to choose which causes to support and the whole school community gets involved in fundraising and giving.
This year, for our Harvest Festival, we collected donations for the Horncastle Food Larder. Everyone brought in tins, packets and other items to help local families who may be finding things difficult. It was wonderful to see how generous everyone was and to know that our efforts made a difference right here in our community.
Last year, we raised money for two very special charities — LIVES and St Barnabas Hospice. Through a range of events and activities, we managed to raise over £700 for St Barnabas, which was an incredible achievement! We were so proud to support the important work both charities do to help people in our area.
Working together on these projects reminds us how powerful kindness and teamwork can be.
