At Maney Hill Primary School we know how important it is for all pupils to be involved in school life, to be listened to and to feel they are making a contribution to making our school the special place it is.

There are a variety of ways in which children can get involved. All teachers spend time in the classroom ensuring all pupils have regular experiences to share ideas in lessons, during presentations and through everyday teaching and learning activities. All pupils also have the opportunity to complete a pupil questionnaire each year which allows them to share their views and ideas.

Outside of the classroom we have a number of activities available to all, including: School Council, Year 6 Reception Buddies, Team Captains and Head Boy and Head Girl.

School Council

Hello, we are the Maney Hill School Council.

The Maney Hill School Council have created the following aims which they work together as a team to meet:

• To represent the views of the children at Maney Hill
• To make responsible decisions
• To make a positive impact in school and beyond
• To raise awareness of important issues
• To help those in need.

The School Council put forward their classes’ views and inform their peers about what has been agreed at meetings. They think carefully about what makes school a great place, together with changes we can make in response to student voice. This ranges from decisions about the playground, to how we can impact our local communities in a beneficial way. They help to organise lots of events in school, including charity events such as the Harvest Festival food collection and fundraising for Children in Need. They also play a key role in arranging themed days within the school year.
