School Council
Ralph Butterfield Primary School Council 2024 - 2025
At Ralph Butterfield Primary School, our School Council is made up of representatives from each class from Year 2 to Year 6. Representatives are elected at the start of each school year and represent their class on the council. The council have regular meetings in which they carry out a cycle of action planning, action, review and feedback.
Miss Clapham works with the council to discuss items on the School Development Plan, matters raised by pupils in school or directs the council to matters arising in school. The meetings are also used as a forum for pupil voice and feedback whereby the School Council members collect ideas, views and opinions about pupils' school experiences and their suggestions for improvement. These are then shared and debated at School Council meetings and fed back to our Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and the School Governing Body.

-
