Our School Council

At Wroughton Infant School we are ‘Proud to Belong’ to a school that considers the opinions and interests of the children as an integral part of its day to day life. As being ‘Proud to Belong’ is a central part of our school ethos the children are encouraged to take ownership of their environment and the decisions that happen within them.

Meet our School Council Representatives

🌟 School Council at Wroughton Infant School

Electing our new School Council is always an exciting and thoughtful process.  Every child is eager to take part, putting forward their best arguments and ideas about why they would make a great councillor.  Candidates share their reasons for wanting to represent their peers, and then each class takes part in a private vote, just like in a real-life election. This encourages fairness, independence, and respect for others’ choices.

Throughout the process, children engage in meaningful discussions and debates about what it truly means to be a School Councillor.  It quickly becomes clear that our School Values are the perfect foundation for identifying who would be a strong ambassador for our school.  As councillors, children represent these values and show what it means to be 'Proud to Belong' at Wroughton Infant School.

Once elected, councillors receive a special badge to help them take ownership of their role. They are expected to lead by example, in their behaviour, manners, and commitment to our school community.

Our School Council meets regularly with Miss James to discuss important topics and share ideas. Last year, the school council played a key role in shaping our new Team Point system, helping decide what actions and attitudes should be rewarded.  They also reflected on our school values and explored which ones they felt were most important.

🗳️ Meet Our 2025–2026 School Council

We are thrilled to announce that our newly elected School Council has already held its first meeting and what a fantastic start it was!

Their first task is to design and create either a Feelings Box or a Suggestion Box for their classroom:

• The Feelings Box will support our new Colour Monster scheme, helping children express emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, or excitement in a safe and supportive way.
• The Suggestion Box will give every child a voice, an opportunity to share ideas, raise questions, and spark discussions on topics that matter to them. These suggestions will be brought to council meetings, where pupils will work together to make positive changes and celebrate great ideas.

We are incredibly proud of our new councillors for stepping into their roles with such enthusiasm and purpose. We can’t wait to see the creativity, care, and leadership they bring to our school this year.
