Pupil Power
Our School Council at Buglawton Primary School
Each year a boy and girl representative from each class are voted for during our Democracy-focused week. In KS2 classes, children present to their peers why they should be voted on to the school council.
Head Boy and Girl
From September 2024, our Head Boy is Rizwan Ali, and our Head Girl is Eleanor Gardner. They were voted into their roles through a whole school ballot and were clear winners following a speech made to the whole school! They represent the school in different ways and are role models to the other children. Their duties include showing visitors around our school, modelling outstanding behaviour, representing the school at public events, and speaking at celebrations and assemblies. They also have the important job of chairing School Council meetings and meeting with the Headteacher each half term to discuss important issues.
The School Council is the voice of the pupils: each class forwards their ideas of how to improve the school or issues that are to be discussed to their representatives to bring to the meeting.
