INSPIRE Council

At Wansdyke School, we have a successful and active INSPIRE Council.

The school council is made up of children in Years 1 – 6 and Rainbow, with 2 councillors representing each class. In the meetings, we disseminate and share ideas, whilst also working on a specific aim. Every other week they meet together with teachers to share and discuss the contributions from their class. 

School Council’s current aim is toencourage learning outside of school through introducing various competitions.

Our Aims and Objectives are to:

• To provide the opportunity for pupils to become partners in their own education and to make a positive contribution to the school environment and ethos.
• To develop and promote children’s self-confidence, social skills and their responsible behaviour towards each other and towards their teachers and adult members of staff.
• To develop the pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding of how to contribute to society as a whole and what it means to be an active citizen.
• To develop pupils effective speaking and listening skills.
• To develop the pupils’ recognition of themselves as worthwhile individuals with a right to be heard.
• To allow the children to have a “voice” and to share their opinions and ideas with others.
• To allow children to become more responsible and actively involved in the decision-making process of the school.

During the year, the children have:

• Organised activities for Children in Need
• Raised money for wet-play resources
• Held class cake sales
