--- title: "School Council" url: "https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council" school: "St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy" --- We are holding a number of open days for children due to start primary school in September 2027. Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # School Council ![School Council - Geographe Education Support Centre](https://gesc.wa.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2021/05/School-Council1.jpg)***Our School council aims to involve every child, as we believe every child's voice is important. It is led by our pupils and is inclusive of everyone in our school family. We have a Communication Team made up of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils who help to run our Smart School Council. We host Whole School Class Meetings every fortnight in all of our classes to discuss important questions that will drive change within our school and our community. The Communication Team then comes together to look at the results and discuss what steps we can take as a school and what we can put into action.*** ***For the latest news from our school council, please click [here. ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/school-council)*** ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/school_council.jpg) Smart School Councils is a wonderful way to promote our British Values.
