The school council at Egerton CE Primary School is made up of two representatives from each year group from Year 1 through to Year 6, and is led by Mrs Mobbs, Deputy Headteacher. It provides children with the opportunity to voice their opinions and have their views taken into account in decisions which impact upon them. As well as making improvements to the school, the school council finds ways to support our local community and beyond. Each school council member is invited to contribute to meetings and discuss thoughts and ideas from their year group.

The school council selected the four charities that the school would support through the year:
The House Captains worked with the school council members to organise charity day events. Children enjoyed the fun themed days and taking part in a range of different activities in order to raise money, which included a basketball hoop challenge, a cat themed day, a cake sale and even a break the rules day to name but a few.
We are proud to have raised over £3,000 to support these charities.
The school council discussed how the playground was used and debated changes to improve it. Over several weeks and discussions with their classes, council members selected new playground markings for playground games as well as for learning. The new markings were added to the playground over the summer holidays.
