School Council

School Council 2025 - 2026

At Newlands Junior school, we respect and value the fundamental British values of democracy and ensure the views and opinions of our pupils are expressed. During September, the children will elect school council members from each year group. All pupils are invited to stand as School Council representatives and are voted for fairly and democratically by their peers. The Chair and Vice Chair are then voted for by the elected members of the School Council.

The School Council meets every week afer school on Thursday to discuss issues raised by the children and ideas to help improve our school even further. We believe our School Council are very effective in helping bring about positive changes in the life of our school!
