About Us

School Council

The School Council was set up in September 1998. Since then, they have worked hard to implement change and improvements based on the wider needs of the school and its pupils.  They have a section in the School Development and Improvement Plan and set their own aims and objectives for each year.

Aims

The overall aim of the School Council is to support school improvement.  This will change annually depending on the School Development Plan.

Welcome from the School Council

The School Council is an elected group of children who get together and discuss things about our school.  They are responsible for relaying information to their classes as well as gaining opinions and ideas from the whole school.  We think all the children at Corsham Primary School work hard towards their learning goals and are very positive, as well as being lovely. Every single member of staff is kind, helpful and fair but firm.

We have many celebrations which we all enjoy. For example, commendations are given out every fortnight to a pupil who their teacher thinks has done really well with their learning. We also have merits which are put on a special card; we win awards if we have completed our 3rd, 6th, 9th etc. School Talent Showmerit card which is great fun. 

The School Council organises a Talent Show at the end of each and every academic year. Ten acts can show off their talents to the whole school, and it is School Council members who vote for the overall winner.

Our school organises lots of adventurous school trips for each class, and we know your children will have a lot of fun. Not only does the School Council help with fun activities, we also help Mrs Parker and Mrs Fry with decisions about the school. Part of our role is to be ambassadors for our classes, so we listen to the views of the children in our classes and then share these views at the School Council meetings. We also really enjoy interviewing teachers and showing around important guests.  Last year, School Council members came up with some strategies to support children with their feelings, e.g. excitement, anger, feeling sad and also helped design Ivern's Wheel of Emotions.

Our school has a unique and funny mascot named Ivern the Wyvern; he represents our school and is seen all around our classrooms. We have a school motto which describes and sums up the entire school in just three words, which is:

Caring, Positive and Stimulating

If you have any ideas about things you would like to do, then please see a School Councillor.

We hope you like our school - we are very proud of it!

Pupil Involvement

At Corsham Primary School, pupils are encouraged to have a voice and get involved with lots of aspects of how the school is run.
