School Council Meeting 6th October with Wincham Family and Friends 

# data[].attributes.body
We mixed with children from other schools and shared our school values which are to respect property and the environment, to respect ourselves and to respect each other. Then we looked at each other’s values and evaluated them. The values we liked most from other schools were forgiveness and respect the nature around you. Other people liked our values. Once we got used to being there and seeing who the people were, we got better at talking to other people, and we talked clearer and more confidently. In the middle of the big piece of paper, we decided to see what values we all had in common and the main thing was respect and to help each other.

At our second meeting, we discussed pupils’ expectations of all adults at and around school and the school site - staff, governors, parents and visitors. The children came to the consensus that positivity and kind words and actions should always be used and that all adults should make them feel safe. Here is a picture of some of our school councillors with the notes they brought from their class discussion that took place before the meeting.

Children said:

Adults should be safe with us;
Adults should be kind and respectful;

Adults should be happy with each other;
Adults should give us lots of praise;
Adults should keep their children close when the pick them up and don’t let them run off in case they get hurt;
Adults should concentrate and be safe driving slowly in the car park and around local roads;

Every adult should respect each other. This looks like saying kind things to each other. If they don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Just ask how they are and then walk away.
