School Council  

Having a School Council at Hook-with-Warsash CofE Academy means children can have their say and can make a difference to our school.

The School Council is made up of one child from each class (years 1-6). These children have been democratically elected by their classmates to act as their class representative. The School Council meet regularly to discuss a variety of issues relating to the school. The School Council look at both school and wider community issues. They are the pupils' voice and play a valued part to play when making decisions about: the school buildings, the curriculum, lunch and play times and other important events.

The School Council are also involved with the decision-making process when it comes to the school’s charity and community work. All children contribute to each meeting by sharing ideas they have discussed with their classes over the previous weeks. Once a term, the year 6 School Council representatives are invited to talk to the school governing body to report on a range of activities undertaken by the pupils.

They are involved in the following projects this year:

•     Visiting Bargate homes to see how they are prompting sustainability

•     Visiting the Mayor’s Parlour to learn about democracy in the local area

•     Building a link between HWW and One Government School, in Bangladesh
