Our School Council

Welcome to the Ditton Lodge Primary School Council. We think carefully about the key British value of Democracy when we set up our school council every year.  We have two representatives from each class, who are voted in at the beginning of term by classmates after writing their own mission statements and sharing them with the class.

The Council meet every fortnight with Mrs Brophy and are full of exciting ideas. They share ideas for school improvement, help with fundraising for school and for charities and help develop the school website. Every other week, class council sessions are held where classmates have an opportunity to raise issues or make suggestions for school council to consider. The Council practices another key British Value of mutual respect by listening to each other’s ideas and opinions and working together to make Ditton Lodge a great place to be.

Children in all classes from Year 1 to Year 6 elect their class representatives at the end of September. This is tied in with PSHE learning, the importance demonstrating the Ditton Values and the rights and responsibilities of everyone having a voice and that voice being important.
