Our Pupil Voice
Our Pupil Voice representatives help our children to have a greater say in matters that effect our school and learning environment. As well as our School Council we have several other committees in which children play active roles in helping to improve specific aspects of school life and our school environment. These committees include Eco-Council, Mini-Mentors, Digital Leaders and Play Leaders.

ECO Council are part of Stockport's Climate Action Change (CAN) Project.
This allows our children to be part of the agenda for climate action debate, engage with the democratic process through taking part in a pupils’ Council Chambers debate and will result in motions being presented by pupils at a Full Council meeting within Stockport.
Here is our Climate Action Ideas for 2022-2023.
