At Vale View we support the belief that the personal and social development of all learners is enhanced by a school environment where all children feel safe and valued, and for which they have some responsibility.  With this in mind, we encourage the active role of the School Council in contributing to the positive changes in the lives of every child in our school.

The School Council contributes to the harmony and unity of our school community, promoting:

• Children as partners in their own education, making a positive contribution to the school environment and ethos.

• Children as active listeners, who listen to others and recognise themselves as worthwhile individuals with a right to be heard, so allowing children to grow in self-esteem.

• Self-confidence, social skills and morally responsible behaviour towards each other and towards all other adults in school

• Learning from personal experience how to contribute to a society as a whole and what it means to be an active citizen.
