I am proud to be a part of Burston because we have lots of experiences – such as our stone age experience, VE day, meeting exciting visitors and even creating artwork for a remembrance event that was put up in our local town.

Year 6 Child

School Council

The aims of Burston School Council:

To help make school a safe, happy and fun place to learn.
To help teach us about democracy and good citizenship.
To work in partnership with all adults in the school.
To make sure every child has a voice.

The role of a School Councillor:

To work as a team to improve our school.
To listen to all suggestions and consider how they can make our school happier.
To attend and participate in School Council meetings.
To share information from meetings with children in our class.

Our school council members were voted for each September by their peers. Each child read a statement to demonstrate why they wanted this role and then all children placed their vote democratically.
