The School Council is made up of representatives from each class in the school. Children who are interested in becoming part of the council write manifestos at the beginning of the year and their peers vote for them. The children work in partnership with school staff, governors and parents for the benefit of the school and its pupils.
We believe that good school councils help to involve all young people in the life of their school and community. Our council has been involved in staff interviews, planning school events, improving dinner times and designing markings for the school playground, to name but a few. They listen to the ideas and suggestions of their peers and feedback to the school staff.
The school council meet every few weeks. They help Mrs Williams by giving a child’s point of view on new initiatives. They are also proactive in coming up with their own ideas.
The council feedback to their classes after the meetings and can record the main points here on the school website. Other children can then offer suggestions and help to bring about positive change in our school.
The Worship Council
The Worship Council at Baschurch CE Primary School plays a key role in the spiritual life of our school. The council is made up of pupils from across the school who help to plan, lead and reflect on worship so that it is meaningful, inclusive and rooted in our Christian vision.
As part of their role, the Worship Council receive dedicated training, including working with Mrs Gamble from the Lichfield Diocese. Through this training, pupils learn about the key elements of worship and how these can help our school community to reflect, celebrate and live out our Christian values.
Members of the Worship Council support the planning and delivery of whole-school and class worship, gather the views of other pupils and help ensure worship reflects what is important to our Baschurch community. This role helps pupils to develop confidence, responsibility and leadership skills, as they use their voices to serve others and shape the spiritual life of the school.

Our 3 groups of children write their own blog in our blogging area. They value any comments that other pupils, staff or parents make. It is a great way for them to pass on ideas and share comments which will help improve our school and the local community.
