Children's Zone

The School Council at The Valley Primary School acts as the pupil voice across the school.

The councillors are chosen by their peers in a democratic vote to act as representatives for their class. They are active in fundraising activities; raising awareness and money for charities like 'Children In Need' and The Poppy Appeal. They have also been key in raising awareness for issues important. 

The School Council will make important decisions about the running of their school and act as representatives at important local events.

School Council 2023-2024

Class 1 - Eliza and Zoe;

Class 2 - Lydia and Joel J;

Class 3 - Arthur and Hettie.

The elections are a very important part of our teaching of democracy in school, which alongside the mutual respect which the children showed so beautifully, comprise part of the Fundamental British Values which we reflect throughout our school and Trust family.

Eco Council
The Eco Council is made-up of pupils, elected by their classmates.

Children in all classes from Year 1 upwards are given the opportunity to nominate themselves to become an Eco Council Member and a class vote allows the children to then select one child from each year group to represent them for the school year.

The role of the Eco Council is to empower children to learn about the school, local and global environments and to think about ways to protect these. Regular meetings are held and the members then cascade their suggestions to the rest of the school family.

Eco Council 2023-2024

Class 1 - Iona and Violet;

Class 2 - Joel G and Henry;

Class 3 - Reuben and Noah.

The elections are a very important part of our teaching of democracy in school, which alongside the mutual respect which the children showed so beautifully, comprise part of the Fundamental British Values which we reflect throughout our school and Trust family.

As part of Year 6, children have the opportunity to take on even more responsibility by campaigning to become a Team Captain. The process involves all Year 6 children writing a manifesto detailing their skills, leadership potential and aspirations for the school year ahead. Team Captains must maintain extremely high standards as they are role models for the rest of the school. This vital role at The Valley is a much sought-after position of responsibility in school and is taken very seriously by those elected.

Team Captain 2023-2024:

Trust - Henry.

Mindful - Ester and Scarlett.

Peace - William.

Friendship - Noah.
