Brook Field School Council

Working together to make our school a better place

Brook Field School Council is made up of a representative from each class from Year 2 to Year 6.  We have regular meetings where we discuss and act on our action plan. We then have time in class to feed back and take further ideas.

Our School Council represents the views of all our pupils. It gives children the opportunity to make their voices heard and feel part of the whole school community.

Our School Council reps were excited to carry out their 'Be Kind to Our Planet' assemblies with both Key Stage 1 and 2 children.  They thanked the children for continuing to support the 'The Brook Field Magic Five' and introduced their next project, to reduce air pollution around Brook Field School. We would really like our parents to get involved and support their children and our school community in making small changes to their lives to help our planet! 

Launch day for 'Wow Travel Tracker' is 3^rd March 2025!  The school Council reps have all been trained as school 'Wow Ambassadors' part of this role will be encouraging the children in their classes to 'actively' travel to school.  Children can walk, use their scooters, cycle or 'park and stride' to school. Our reps are hoping that our school community will embrace the 'Living Street's Iniative'.  It is hoped that all children who 'actively' travel will arrive at school healthier, happy and ready to learn.  Our reps are also very keen to continue to build on the work that last year's school council reps started - reducing air pollution around our school.  Have a look at video below which explains the 'Wow - Walk to School Challenge'.

The children have started 2025 enjoying healthy morning snack choices.  The school council reps have encouraged the children in their classes have a go at Brook Field's annual 'Eat the Rainbow' challenge! Take a look at the photos below.  The majority of our school council reps led by example and brought in red morning snacks on Monday, orange snacks on Tuesday, yellow snacks on Wednesday, green snacks on Thursday and purple snacks on Friday.  The reps were not disappointed, with children from Foundation Stage through to Year 6 taking part!

A final message that the reps shared with the children in their classes is the importance of bringing to school a daily healthy morning snack.  Please remember, water in water bottles and morning snacks can be any fruit or vegetables, bread sticks, crackers or cheddar cheese.

All of the children throughout Brook Field School have had the opportunity to talk about many aspects of safety including: online safety, safety within the school buildings, safety in our playground, knowing what to do in a fire drill, not accepting bullying, respecting the power of things that could harm you, being able to tell someone what you think or how you feel, knowing your problems should not be secrets, being accepted for being you, having people in your life who care about your well-being such as parents, teachers and friends.
