The new School Council introduced themselves to Ranelagh’s leadership team. We didn’t switch the light on in Miss Welburn’s room to not waste energy . Sustainability right from the off . 

They continued to talk about how sustainability is still a focus and will continue to be . 

‘How about the earlier start?’ we asked , referring to the new 8.30 start to the day . The school has begun the day with physical and mental healthiness. In the Red Pitch, for 2 year groups, there is sport, gardening and painting , whilst other year groups develop their love of reading . This is alternated every week . This gets a big thumbs up. 

They want the new Key Stage 1 playground to have more activities . More hoola hoops and to have the older children teaching KS1 new playground games . Developing turn taking and losing with grace . 

The School Council absolutely believe that their voice can bring on change . 

An absolutely incredible start to the new year - making sure Ranelagh can be the ‘Best that it can be ‘

 

 

The School Council children demonstrate enthusiasm and dedication to their school and community by creating, developing and successfully carrying out projects with their peers. 

Over the year, the Ranelagh's School Council have volunteered in a variety of on-going daily responsibilities such as the organisation and distribution of milk at play time and lunchtimes, setting up and packing away the equipment for Exercise Mornings and turning off lights at lunchtimes in order to save energy. 

Projects such as the Christmas postal service, hot chocolate mornings, the Easter egg hunt, and the up coming Mini-Teachers day and Talent show all require teams of volunteers to develop plans and publicity.
