Welcome to

Little Gonerby

School Council 

Our aims as a School Council are:

Making school a better place to be

Listening to ideas

Looking after everyone

We are the voice of ALL the children at Little Gonerby

We hope you find our page helpful and enjoy seeing our work within

Little Gonerby each year.

Our School Council comprises of two representatives from each year group that have been elected by their peers. In order to be chosen for school council, the children had to deliver a speech to their classmates and take part in an anonymous vote. The children with the highest amounts of votes were then chosen to be their class representatives.

We have our school council meetings on a Monday lunchtime and during these meetings, we discuss and plan events and ideas that we would like to do for our school. We also bring back ideas, information and suggestions from our classes and discuss and share these. We also think about our local community and how we can help and support them as a school. For example, when there was local flooding, we decided to write a letter offering our support and delivered them to the houses that were affected.

Some things that we have done already this academic year:

- New playground equipment

- Grandparents day

- Hello Yellow for Mental Health Day

- Letters of support for local residents affected by flooding

- Pancake day races and pancake tasting

- Valentine Disco
