Student Council

As a school we value the thoughts, ideas and opinions of all our children and the School Council is one of the ways the voice of the children is heard.  Our council consists of one elected representative from each class, Reception to Year 6.  The role of school councillor lasts for one year, this allows other children in the class to be voted for by their peers in subsequent years. 

These children have a very important job to do.  The school council will meet regularly and discuss issues raised by children in their classes. In the first meeting of the year, the school council meets to discuss plans for the year supported by a member of staff.  Following the meeting, the school councillors will report back to their class on issues that were discussed and actions that will be taken to address their concerns.  

Eco Ambassadors oversee the need to save energy in the class, and implement (with the support of their peers) ways in which they can reuse or recycle.

They ensure waste is kept to a minimum and that electricity/water is used wisely. 

They are elected by the rest of the school.

At Oak Tree Mental Health Ambassadors are elected to promote positive discussions surrounding mental health.  They are elected by the school children representing years 1-6.

Mental Health Ambassadors are there to lead and promote the school’s wellbeing agenda. They drive the message forward and release the stigma around talking about challenging feelings and encourage pupils to talk if they need to.   Meetings take place once per month to discuss what the school can do to be more  aware of our mental health.  

Calm Club 

We have a ‘Calm Club‘ a peaceful, sensory space in the school where any child can visit at lunchtime if they want a bit of quiet.  The space has a few different activities to support wellbeing. The Mental Health Ambassadors take turns to assist being in the Calm Club and be there for any child who may need support.
