Welcome to Our School Council!

Small Changes, Big Differences!

Big ideas often start with little voices!

At St Anne's Catholic Primary School, we believe that every child has something important to say. Our School Council gives children the opportunity to share their ideas, represent their classmates and play an active role in making our wonderful school an even better place to learn, grow and belong.

Our School Council isn't just about having meetings or sharing suggestions. It's about turning children's ideas into real, positive changes!

Whether it's improving our school environment, introducing exciting new opportunities or finding little ways to make everyday school life even better, our councillors are ready to work together and make a difference.

We believe that you don't have to make enormous changes to have an enormous impact. Sometimes, the smallest ideas can make the biggest difference!

Little Voices, Big Responsibilities!

At St Anne's, we believe that leadership is about listening, supporting others and being a positive role model. Throughout the school, children have exciting opportunities to take on responsibilities, represent their peers and make a difference within our school community.

Each year, children have the exciting opportunity to become School Council representatives. Pupils put themselves forward and are democratically elected by their classmates, giving everyone a voice in choosing who will represent them.

Our councillors have the important responsibility of listening to their peers, sharing suggestions and working together to bring ideas to life. Through their role, they develop confidence, communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

Our Head Boy, Head Girl and Deputies – Leading by Example!

Our Year 6 pupils have the exciting opportunity to become Head Boy or Head Girl. Candidates prepare and deliver speeches to the whole school, explaining why they would make excellent leaders. The school community then votes for their chosen representatives, with the runners-up becoming Deputy Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl.

These important roles give our oldest pupils the opportunity to represent St Anne's, set a positive example and develop their confidence and leadership skills.

Our House Captains – Inspiring Team Spirit!

Our House Captains are selected from Year 6 and play an important role in encouraging teamwork, celebrating achievements and promoting a positive sense of belonging across our school.

They help lead their House teams, encourage children to earn House Points and take responsibility for counting the House Point counters throughout the year.

Together, our pupil leaders help make St Anne's a school where every child feels valued, represented and proud to belong!

Our Mission: Listen, Plan, Act, Improve!

We want our School Council to be more than a group of children who share ideas. We want our councillors to see their ideas come to life and understand that they have the power to make a positive difference.

Throughout the year, our School Council will follow The ST ANNE’S Way, seven important steps that will guide us as we share ideas, work together, take action and make positive changes to our school.

We will look back at what we have achieved, celebrate our successes and think carefully about how we could make things even better.

Each small improvement will be another step towards making St Anne's the very best school it can be!

Our School Council Journey 2026–2027

A new year, a new team and lots of exciting possibilities!

Our School Council is beginning a new journey, and we can't wait to discover what our councillors will achieve together.

Our first meeting will give our representatives the opportunity to share their initial ideas, listen to one another and begin thinking about the improvements they would like to see across our school.

Following these discussions, we will work with our headteacher to decide on our priorities and create our first School Council Action Plan.

This page will be updated throughout the year so that children, parents and visitors can follow our journey and celebrate the difference our School Council is making.

What Are We Working On?

Our Ideas, Our Plans, Our Progress!

Throughout the year, our School Council will work together to turn children's ideas into positive changes across St Anne's. Each term, our councillors will listen to suggestions, identify areas of school life they would like to improve and agree on exciting new priorities. We will share our action plans, showing what we hope to achieve, how we plan to make it happen and the difference we want to make. As our projects develop, we will celebrate our successes through photographs, updates and achievements, allowing everyone to follow our journey and see the positive impact of pupil voice.

You Said, We Did!

Your Voice. Our Actions. A Better School Together!

One of the most important parts of our School Council is making sure children know that their ideas are being heard.

Our 'You Said, We Did!' updates will show how suggestions from pupils have inspired the improvements taking place around our school.

We can't promise that every idea will be possible, but we can promise that every suggestion will be listened to and considered.

We are excited to start filling this space with the wonderful achievements of our School Council!

Together, We Can Make a Difference!

At St Anne's, we believe in kindness, teamwork, respect and caring for others. Through our School Council, children have the opportunity to put these values into action and help shape the future of our school.
