Welcome To
School Council
Pupils have lots of opportunity to take responsibility at St Chad’s school.
One way is to be part of School Council. Each year each of the classes from Year 2 to Year 6 vote for two pupils to represent them. They meet with the Headteacher or staff to discuss ways to improve the school.
Here are the School Council of 2025/2026:
Y2: Skyla and Benjamin
Y3: Bella and Harry
Y4: Scarlett and Jude
Y5: Sophia and Theo
Y6: Amber and Jacob
