Prestwood Infant School Council (Private)

Welcome to the school council page. This is the page where we will post everything about the school council and the things we are doing. We hope you enjoy learning about the ways we help make the school a better place. We are the children wearing school council badges and you will find our faces on the wall by the entrance of the school. Please come and say hello if you visit! (we are hoping to learn how to take visitors around the school soon).

The aims of our PISCP meetings are:

Thinking, listening, discussing, choosing and agreeing.

The school council team have two meetings each term, to discuss issues raised by other children, to organise events, feedback on 'listening lunchtimes' and to discuss other ideas to involve children in our school - we are their 'voice'.
