School Council 2024-25 

This year Miss Howard will be supporting School Councillors to think about how they can make our school, local area and world a better place. If you have any ideas and suggestions please pass them on to your nominated school councillor.

Engaging children in charitable activities is becoming more and more important. The ‘Growing up Giving’ Parliamentary Inquiry suggests that “Teaching our young people to be selfless, to think of others ahead of themselves, and to support good causes – great and small – is as important as teaching them to read and write. It is an essential part of making sure our young people grow up to be full members of society.” Dr John Low Chief Executive Charities Aid Foundation

Over the last twelve months, School Council have supported a range of local and national charities including: Macmillan Cancer, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Bleakholt animal Sanctuary and Blackburn Food Bank.

This years our new School Councillors are hoping to continue to support these charities, as well as identify other needs within the local community.

So here is our new team:

Y1 Annabelle and Ava

Y2 Margot and Ray

Y3 Raafay and Esah

Y4 William and Elsie

Y5 Heidi and Arabella

Y6 Grace, Zakki and Brooke.

School Council meet Ribble Valley Mayor Mark Hindle who talked about the role of local councils and how important School Councillors are in making a difference to the lives of people who live in the Ribble Valley.
