“Chaos is the enemy of any organisation that strives to be outstanding.” – Karen Martin

Dear All

It is a key part of our work at Abbey to give pupils a ‘voice’ in what happens. Every pupil should have a leadership role or responsibility – which could vary from being a class monitor to being on the School Council.

School councils provide a basis for active learning of important life skills, such as speaking and listening skills, teamwork, emotional literacy, problem-solving, moral reasoning skills, self-esteem and self-confidence. School and class councils enable pupils to have a voice and to understand that their opinions count.

This year the Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 School Councils have their own ‘opinion boards’ outside the staff room. Pupils can ‘post it’ their thoughts at any time. Take a look when you have the chance.
