School Council 2017-2018
At the beginning of the new school year each class elected new school councillors, Years 1-6. Their pictures are on the school council board in the hall along with minutes of each meeting. The School Councillors in Years 3-6 will attend the Uttlesford School Council Conference on Thursday 12th October. The councillors found the conference very useful last year and the event provided them with lots of ideas of how to develop our School Council. (See our vision statement that was produced after the event last year)
