School Council

Welcome to our School Council  

Pupil voice is incredibly important at Salisbury Primary School. We believe that our children should have the opportunity to say how we can improve their experiences at school.

The children went through a selection process having had to apply for the position of School Council representative. They had to present their reasons for why they should be selected, to their class members. The class then took a vote.

School Council meet each half term and discuss any issues children may have raised with them. This is a very useful process. The meetings held are recorded and the minutes shared with the Headteacher. School Council members are then informed of decisions about next steps.

There are many ways for School Council to have an impact on our school – here are a few ideas:

·         Improving lunchtimes/breaks

·         Enrichment/after-school clubs

·         Playground resources with sports coaches to lead games

·         Ways to promote health and wellbeing

Our dedicated School Council members:

Year 2 – Caleb and Benaiah

Year 3 – Nusrat and Alyah

Year 4 – Umaize and Gurnaz

Year 5 – Adefisayo and Mustafa

Year 6 – Husain and Parleen

These student leaders play a crucial role in promoting a positive and inclusive school environment.

Last year, our School Council focused on bringing British values into our daily school life and this will continue this year with our new members. Through meaningful discussions, Salisbury will be preparing and delivering informative whole-school assembly to share their insights throughout the academic year. 

The school council have a number of plans for the academic year of 2025-2026, more information will be shared via our website!

Our School Council continues to lead by example, demonstrating teamwork, respect, and a spirit of service that enriches our school community.

October 2025

The children had a fantastic time meeting the mayor, looking around the parlour and asking her lots of questions about how the council works. She showed them around the council house and where local councillors sit and conduct their meetings.

They also had the opportunity to see the town hall and the huge organ. The mayor also presented them with a 'Mayor's school council badge', a stationary set and booklet. 

The council members will be talking to their classes about their visit and sharing what they learnt.
