At Rodbourne Cheney Primary School, we feel it is very important for children to have an awareness of their rights and their responsibilities as members of both the school and the wider community. In order to give pupils a voice within the school, two children from each class (Years 1 to 5) are elected each year, by their peers, to become representatives on the school council. In Year 6, our Head Girl, Head Boy, Deputy Head Girl, Deputy Head Boy and prefects form part of the school council too.
Members of the student council are expected to show the highest standard of behaviour and attitude in and out of school, in order to act as role models to other children. They also get the chance to meet with adults within the school to voice their opinions and ideas to keep the school moving forward.
Why do we have a School Council?
The School Council is an ideal opportunity for pupils to get more involved in the way the school is run. The School Council benefits the whole school, pupils and teachers, because it provides opportunities for pupils to communicate their feelings as well as influence decisions that are made. Councillors develop skills such as confidence, communication and negotiation. It is the responsibility of each Councillor to ensure that they express both their own views and the views of all the other pupils they represent.

Year 6 Roles
At Rodbourne Cheney, we are passionate about the personal development of our children. We place enormous value on pupil voice and ensure that all children in Year 6 have a role, demonstrating to them that their ideas are valuable, and that they have an important role to play in the success of our school. For more information on how are why we give roles to all of our Year 6 children, read the following article written by Lisa Davies (Executive Head Teacher): How we're improving attendance and behaviour with additional roles | Tes
