Each academic year at Ranelagh starts with a very important job...electing the school council, there is one representative from each class. Voting for our school council members creates a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to learn about democracy.  . 

Meetings take place with school council members and Miss Felgate. The meeting is run according to an agenda and minutes are taken so we can refer back to what has been discussed. Having weekly/fortnightly meetings enable issues to be discussed as they arise and hopefully, result in a speedy solution. 

The successful candidates must have the following attributes: reliability, fairness, honesty, enthusiasm, be approachable and confident.  Above all else, they must be committed in their role of representing our school and community. 

Meet this years school council.........

We have had a very busy start to the school year, having some very important jobs to carry out on behalf of the school. Firstly we helped to elect a new Eco committee.  Along with Miss Felgate and Miss Motion, we looked through the applications and selected the pupils we felt were able to support our quest to become a more sustainable school. 

Secondly we were asked to help interviews for the new Headteacher position in school.  Working alongside the governing body, we discussed what we felt were important qualities in  Headteacher, formulated some questions and then interviewed candidates.
