Facts about our amazing School Council:

• The school council members wear badges.
• They meet every month. 
• The Headteacher takes part in the meetings.
• The councillors discuss and make decisions about important issues in the school and then feed back to their class.
• There are two members of the school council from each class from Year Two upwards. They are voted in democratically by the children.
• We change the representatives every year so that different children get a chance to be a school councillor.
• The School Council themselves vote who are the executive committee: chair, treasurer and secretary. 
• The School Council have their own budget to plan and spend in the best way they choose. 

The school council are helpful and caring, they are considerate of others and good listeners. They try to make Dobwalls School the very best that it can be for everyone.

Children in Years 5 and 6 are also members of the Trust School Council which meet regularly to discuss issues both in school and across the Trust to help develop the best education for all.  Everyone's opinion is valued. 

In the year 2024 - 2025, the Council raised £1132 for The British Heart Foundation!  Amazing!

Every child a leader at Dobwalls

Since September 2024, every child is a leader at Dobwalls!  At the beginning of each year, all children choose which leadership team they would like to be part of.  These teams meet at least every half-term and help support decision making and seek ideas to share within our school.  The teams are brilliant!  They include:

• Library Team
• Eco-Committee
• Lunchtime Sports Leaders
• Go Cornish 
• Digital Leaders
• Health and Well-being
• Building and Premises
• SECRET Skills
• Rights Respecting Team 
• Rainbow Room
