Together We Achieve
School Council
Vision
Our vision is for all children at Kneesall C of E Primary School to be able to have a voice and contribute towards the continuous improvement of our school community.
The School Council is group of pupils who advocate and represent the views of all the pupils and consider ways to enhance their school. The School Council is made up of representations from each class who discuss matters about their learning and school life and liaise with the Senior Leadership Team and Governors of the school.
Aim
The aim of the School Council is to involve pupils in helping to create and implement school vision through policies, procedures and courageous advocacy to benefit everyone in the school community. This is achieved through fostering a strong pupil voice, enabling children to play an active role in making their school a better place for all, and through upholding our Christian values: Kindness Courage and Faith
