School Council

The annual election for this school year will take place on Thursday 26th September.

Children from Years R-6 are invited to stand for our School Council. Children need to produce a poster or manifesto of ideas to share with their peers. Children will then vote for their favourite candidate during our election day. This demonstrates the British Value of Democracy to children.

Members of the School Council will:

• be ambassadors for the school at important events;
• be a part of school tours for visitors
• identify what your class thinks about issues and give feedback at meetings
• decide on action points for improvements
• help organise events
• champion charity ideas and events

The successful Year 6 School School Council candidates become our Head Boy and Head Girl.

Head Boys and Head Girls are responsible for representing the school. They also serve as a good role model for all pupils, they share pupils' ideas with the school council. They may also be expected to lead fellow prefects and school councillors in their duties.

The Head Boy and Head Girl should share a passion and commitment for Newburgh C.E. Primary School. They are the link between the pupils and staff at Newburgh. They demonstrate positive behavours and act as role models for all pupils. The Head Boy and Head Girl support the school at events. They contribute to the effective running of the school. The Head Boy and Head Girl help to take responisibility as role models for younger pupils and help to ensure that the school is a safe and secure place for all pupils.

The Head Boy and Head Girl must have the ability to work productively with others, whilst using their initiative to contribute to the ethos of the school. They will need to be organised, responsible, enthusiastic, and a great ambassador for our school. They must maintain excellent behaviour, uniform, attendance and punctuality.

• thoughtful and care for others
• reliable
• trustworthy
• positive attitude to learning
• good organisational skills
• adaptability
• good attendance
• know the right thing to do and do it
• be resilient
