A school council is a formal group of pupils who act as representatives of their classmates in discussing school issues with the headteacher and staff. 

As councillors, children will:

• be resilient
• work as a team
• negotiate and collaborate
• understand that their views are important
• understand that everyone else’s are just as important
• understand that change takes effort

Broomfield Primary School Council is made up of children representing each class and year group throughout the school from Year 2 to Year 6. 

The children are elected by their classmates and meet every two weeks.
