School Council

The Thomas Jones School Council consists of two children from each year group who are elected in the summer term for the following year. Children who are keen to play this role will be asked to write something very short to read to their class and elections will take place. Councillors meet twice a term to focus on key issues such as fundraising, scrutiny of books, lunches, etc., as well as to learn the skills of being a good spokesperson for their class.
