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

As part of our community engagement, School Council really enjoyed their visit to Bellway Homes. We learned how it takes 3000 bricks to build an average house and we had a go at brick laying using a towel and mortar, with some help from John. We saw the machinery that is used on a building site such as a digger, dumper, fork lift truck which was exciting! Mason and Curtis showed us the different phases of building houses. We got to see the sales room and meet Paul.
This was a great visit- thank you to Phil for showing us around and Victoria for organising it. School Council were a credit to school and asked some brilliant questions!
