School Council

Who are our School Council members?

Every year we run an election campaign to vote for a new representative for each class. A good representative will speak at the council meetings about things that their class is interested in. They will also tell their class about what is going on in the council meetings and ask their class for their input. 

What does our School Council do?

The school council works to make improvements to the school and the way we do things at Cutteslowe. We look around for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to speak and when we’ve finished we vote on the best ideas and then start working on changing things. Sometimes we have to talk to teachers and sometimes we organise and help run events. 

Each year we vote on what charity we will support. Previous charities have included Helen & Douglas House and Sobell House. This year we want to support a homeless charity.
