Pupil council and champions
At Allscott Meads
we prioritise our pupils’ voices
At Allscott Meads, we are dedicated to fostering pupil leadership and encouraging our children to take an active role in shaping their school community. Through pupils council and responsibilities, pupils can contribute to decision-making, develop key leadership skills, and make a positive impact on school life and beyond.

The pupil council is made up of elected representatives from each class, chosen through a democratic voting process. It provides a platform for pupils to express their ideas and influence the development of their school environment.
What we do:
- Discuss and implement initiatives to improve school life, such as fundraising events, playground improvements, or new resources.
- Collaborate with staff to address pupil concerns and ensure all voices are heard.
- Represent the school in community projects and events.

Representing the academy is a rewarding opportunity for pupils to develop their skills, make a difference, and contribute to the success of Allscott Meads. Elections for the pupil council are held annually, and all pupils are encouraged to participate in the activities and initiatives led by these groups.
Together, our pupils and staff work to create a thriving, inclusive, and forward-thinking school community where every child has the opportunity to lead and grow. For more information, please contact the academy office.
