Pupil Voice: School Council & Eco-Council
We actively encourage pupils to take ownership of their school community. Through our School Council and Eco-Council, children are empowered to speak up, lead, and make a difference.
School Council
Each form elects a School Council Representative at the start of the academic year. Representatives are awarded a badge and play a key role in school life by:
- Gathering and sharing their class’s views
- Reporting back on Council discussions
- Participating in half-termly meetings
These meetings give children a platform to raise ideas, voice concerns, and be involved in shaping their school.
Eco-Council
Similarly, each class elects an Eco-Council Representative. This team leads Ghyll Royd’s environmental efforts, supporting the Eco-Schools programme and championing sustainable initiatives. Their responsibilities include:
- Conducting Environmental Reviews
- Representing the whole school in eco decision-making
- Implementing and reviewing our Eco Action Plan
Eco-Council meetings take place every half-term and are reported to senior leadership and governors.
