School Council
Welcome to the Woodgate School Council page
Check this page for regular updates about our meetings.
What is the School Council?
The school council works to make improvements to the school and the way we do things at Woodgate. We look around for things that could be better and discuss what to do. Everyone gets a chance to speak and when we’ve finished we vote on the best ideas and then start working on changing things. Sometimes we have to talk to teachers and sometimes we have to make phone calls to people outside of the school.
Who are the School Councillors?
Every year we run an election campaign to vote for two new representatives for each class. A good representative will speak at the council meetings about things that their class is interested in. They will also tell their class about what is going on in the council meetings and put the minutes up in the classroom.

We try to be very professional in the council so we use a lot of business words. Hopefully this will help.

Councillor - someone who has been voted for to work for their class mates on the school council
Minutes - the notes taken during a meeting so people can see what goes on
Motion - an idea for the council to discuss
School Council did a fantastic job of setting up and running the Bring and Buy Sale on 30th November 2022. We raised an amazing £266 for Dementia UK. Thank you all so much for your generous donations.
School Council were given the amazing opportunity of visiting Birmingham's Council House on the 23rd November. The staff at the council house gave the councillors a tour of the building, the Lord Mayors office and the conference room where meetings take place. We met the old councillor, John Lines and he gave the councillors some good advice on what the role involves. John Lines was an ex-pupil from Woodgate School. The councillors were a credit to the school, they caught the bus sensibly and listened well during our time at the council house.
