Launde Primary School Council meet regularly to help ensure the school is the best it can be. Pupils from each Year 3 - Year 6 class are nominated by their peers to represent them at the meetings. We like working with children from different year groups, as part of our 'Launde family'.

Here is our latest meeting information:

The school council met to follow up from last week. Year 5 and 6 school council members will be coming into KS1 to get their views on our extra-curricular offer over the next couple of weeks. Our Year 3 and 4 school council members will then put together the presentation for Mrs Johnston and Mr Mukadam. We have agreed to look at our classroom and school tidiness and classroom setups for next term and all the school council will be involved in the learning walk with SLT to support this.

The school council met to discuss our next focus for the coming term. We will be sharing our class discussions with Mrs Johnston and Mr Mukadam around what other clubs and opportunities our children would like to have. The school council have spoken to all of KS2 but will not be visiting the rest of the school. We've been thinking about our school environment and what things we could put in place to improve it further around the school and we plan to have another environment/learning walk in the final Summer term. Well done to the school council on their support and work on the Easter Bonnet competition. We hope you enjoyed it.

The school council has been busy these last two weeks. They have supported SLT with looking at our classes in the morning and reviewing our learning behaviours. They have shared some brilliant insight with myself and Mrs Meer with what they have seen and we will be looking at next steps for us as a school to improve our learning behaviours even more. The school council has also been supporting Mrs Pallett in making posters and getting them up around school for the Easter Bonnet Competition. Make sure to give it a go and remember all proceeds are going towards the new school library.

The school council met today. We reviewed the positive impacts of some of the new initiatives that have been launched in our school and how some of our previous actions from the School Council meetings were being evidenced. We discussed the issue around how we could solve the sharing of equipment at lunchtime and the School Council should be feeding that back to class. The School Council will be discussing with classes what clubs we think we need or need to have more of these next couple of weeks.

The School Council has been busy discussing with their classes what Launde's school values should be and what are important values that the children hold. Mr Doxey will be sharing these with the rest of SLT as we look at shaping the vision and values for the future. We reviewed some of the ideas for the toilet improvements, sadly we won't be buying any expensive Japanese-style electronic toilets for the foreseeable future.

A Happy New Year from your school council.
