At Herringthorpe Infant School we respect and value the fundamental British value of democracy and ensure the views and opinions of our pupils are expressed. At the beginning of the school year all the children were invited to stand as School Council representatives. Children that wished to be considered for the role completed an application form. Then each class voted to select their two councillors.

Our School Councillors have pledged to:

• Always work together as a team.
• Be reliable and responsible.
• Listen to all suggestions and ideas.
• Collect ideas from our peers to share at school Council meetings.
• Feedback and discuss ideas from School Council meetings to our classes.
• Always respect other people’s opinions and points of view.
• Be a good role model to other children in school.

This year, we aim to:

• Help raise money for school improvement projects. 
• Support the school in raising money for local, national and international charities.
• Help organise key events such as; the Christmas fair, walk to school week and the Eid party.
• Organise and judge competitions including an Easter and Eid card competition.
