School Council
At Elvetham Heath Primary, our school council is an opportunity for the children to have a voice, share their opinions and make a difference.
We hold school council elections twice a year, allowing 12 children per year group throughout the year to represent their cohort. Through assemblies and class discussions, the children are taught about the British Value of democracy. Children choose to stand as a school council candidate and present the reasons why they feel people should vote for them to their class. A polling card is created and children then vote for the two people. Children are reminded of the qualities to look for and the responsibilities that school councillors should undertake. The children always take the voting process very seriously, demonstrating our school’s key virtues well.
Current school councillors are:
| Head Boy & Girl Harry and Isobel

Our first school council project is to research national and international charities. This will then create a class meeting where all children in school will vote for the charities they wish to support this year. Watch this space to find out what the children choose!
