This year School Council hosted a free clothes and toy sale for our school community. It was lovely to see so many happy faces making the most of the event.

We raised £80.80 selling hot chocolate in school.

Our School Council welcomes members from the school community: children, parents, Governors and staff. In order to get onto the council, children nominate themselves and following a presentation to their class, elections take place so that every class has a representative.
The School Council have been instrumental in the ongoing developments and improvements to our play space, curriculum and school lunches. They have supported with the writing of some school policies, the Code of Conduct and have organised several different fund-raising events, including a very successful annual £10 challenge.
For many years the school has been very proud to have supported a little girl, Amie in Sierra Leone with her education and health needs.
Any suggestions or comments would be welcomed and any parents wishing to join the Council are invited to speak to a member of the office staff or Miss Grocott who leads the team.
Meetings are held virtually once a fortnight and the Committee are instrumental in many of the decisions made regarding future changes and improvements to the school.
Waterloo Well-being Garden
Following fund raising and a grant received from Tesco, we are happy to announce that our well-being garden is now open! All classes have contributed in some way to its creation and making our garden a special place. Children are invited to use the garden at break and lunch times. Classes will also be using the garden during our mindfulness slots throughout the day.
