About the Pupil Council
The main aims of the School Council are to improve Cricket Green School for the pupils, students, parents and staff.
There are four ways in which the School Council is used to do this:
Rights
We aim to embed the pupils’ and young people’s human rights in our ethos and culture. We use our school council as the vehicle in which to explore learning ‘about’, ‘through’ and ‘for’ rights. Every year we link this work to Rights Respecting schools work and dedicate a curriculum day to explore child rights education (CRE).
Citizenship
We use the school council to model Citizenship and develop key British values so that everyone feels equal and has an understanding of what it means to be a positive and responsible part of a cohesive community.
School Improvement
The School Council come together to discuss ways in which the school can improve. These ideas and opinions are discussed in class during circle times. The School Council is integral to positive school change, they are also consulted regarding key issues in school, such as school meals and the recruitment. A representative meets with governors to discuss developments.
Pupil voice
We believe that all stakeholders should have a voice. The School Council is used to design and monitor the process in which pupils’ opinions are regularly heard in a personalised and meaningful way. Every year we have a ‘Pupil Voice Day’ in which we look through the “eyes of the pupils” to gain a deeper insight into their experiences at Cricket Green and the communities in which they live in.
Pupil Council Annual Calendar 2024-25
At CGS, members of our Pupil Council (MPCs) meet at least once every half term to support with topics related to school development.
This term, we have invited members to support us with our observations and review of Teaching and Learning across the school.
Pupils will join governors in our Teaching and Learning committee and observe lessons with them using the Pupil Council observation checklist.
Here is a brief look at how we will review the quality of our Teaching and Learning in Spring 1.
-
The leadership team conduct observations with Middle leaders and therapists
-
Our pupil council will join SLT in another round of observations
-
The findings will be shared and used to draft actions for our school development plan.
-
Parents will be asked to complete surveys on how well their child is doing at school.

Spring Term

The Pupil Council update the ‘learning checklist’ and conduct lesson observations with Governors, Senior and Middle leaders. We will feed back to staff and implement any developments that have been agreed through the council.

The pupil council will review the impact of any changes they have made to our teaching and Learning practices.
Summer Term
April
In April we will be holding our ‘Pupil Council Day’. This year we will be working with our Rights Respecting Schools committee to explore respecting individuality. Each class across the school will look in-depth at a chosen article and present their work on these. You will be able to see some of this work in detail on our website.
May
The Pupil Council will help to review the school grounds in relation to our new Outdoor Learning curriculum and share ideas on how we can develop them further.

MPCs will be approaching the end of their term. We will review the support and developments they have achieved and celebrate their work in short videos ready to show at our annual Cinema event.
