Pupil Parliament
At Mill View we have an extremely active pupil body, who are supported by our staff UK Parliament Teacher Ambassador Mrs Hetherington and Miss Kaur
We do this through:
School Councils
Our School Councils ensure every child gets the chance to have their voice heard and can be part of making meaningful change to our school systems through collective action. These councils are created by children and include Sports Council; Art Council; Environmental Council; Pupil Voice Council; Community Council and Play Council.
School Council impact
Our School Council allows every child to make thier own unique contribution to life at our school. In their chosen committees, every member of our school worked together to improve many aspects of school life, ensuring that everyones voice was heard.
Playtime and Sports Council |
Members work alongside Mr G and Mrs I to make sure that playtimes are the very best they can be for everybody. They have trained Playground leaders and secured new equipment. They have launched the 'Smile for a Mile' initiative to encourage children to be exercising at playtimes. |
Community and Mental Health Council |
Members work to make sure that children have the information they need to support their mental health. |
Charity Council |
Members worked to raise money and collect food for West Cheshire Food bank, completing the Reindeer Run! |
Arts Council |
The Arts Committee were commited to creating wider opportunities to discover pupils hidden talents in the Arts. This led to a whole school project enabling pupils to show case and celebrate eachothers talents. |
